What is 2.14 percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.14% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.14%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9=100%
2) x=2.14%
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:
9/x=100%/2.14%
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 2.14% of 9

9/x=100/2.14
(9/x)*x=(100/2.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9=46.728971962617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.728971962617) to get x
9/46.728971962617=x
0.1926=x
x=0.1926

now we have:
2.14% of 9=0.1926
