What is 14.96 percent of 149.21 - 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 149.21 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 149.21 is 100%, so we can write it down as 149.21=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 149.21=100%
2) x=14.96%
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:
149.21/x=100%/14.96%
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 14.96% of 149.21

149.21/x=100/14.96
(149.21/x)*x=(100/14.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
149.21=6.6844919786096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6844919786096) to get x
149.21/6.6844919786096=x
22.321816=x
x=22.321816

now we have:
14.96% of 149.21=22.321816
