What is 14.9 percent of 14.045 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 14.045 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 14.045 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.045=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.045=100%
2) x=14.9%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
14.045/x=100%/14.9%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 14.9% of 14.045

14.045/x=100/14.9
(14.045/x)*x=(100/14.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.045=6.7114093959732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7114093959732) to get x
14.045/6.7114093959732=x
2.092705=x
x=2.092705

now we have:
14.9% of 14.045=2.092705
