What is 14.98 percent of 942.75 - 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 942.75 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 942.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 942.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 942.75=100%
2) x=14.98%
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:
942.75/x=100%/14.98%
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 14.98% of 942.75

942.75/x=100/14.98
(942.75/x)*x=(100/14.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
942.75=6.675567423231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.675567423231) to get x
942.75/6.675567423231=x
141.22395=x
x=141.22395

now we have:
14.98% of 942.75=141.22395
