What is 15.35 percent of 14.6 - 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 14.6 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 14.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.6=100%
2) x=15.35%
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:
14.6/x=100%/15.35%
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 15.35% of 14.6

14.6/x=100/15.35
(14.6/x)*x=(100/15.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.6=6.514657980456*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.514657980456) to get x
14.6/6.514657980456=x
2.2411=x
x=2.2411

now we have:
15.35% of 14.6=2.2411
