What is 20.05 percent of 14.35 - 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 14.35 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 14.35 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.35=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.05% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.05%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.35=100%
2) x=20.05%
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:
14.35/x=100%/20.05%
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 20.05% of 14.35

14.35/x=100/20.05
(14.35/x)*x=(100/20.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.35=4.9875311720698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9875311720698) to get x
14.35/4.9875311720698=x
2.877175=x
x=2.877175

now we have:
20.05% of 14.35=2.877175
