What is 26.6666667 percent of 14 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.6666667% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.6666667%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14=100%
2) x=26.6666667%
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/x=100%/26.6666667%
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 26.6666667% of 14

14/x=100/26.6666667
(14/x)*x=(100/26.6666667)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14=3.7499999953125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7499999953125) to get x
14/3.7499999953125=x
3.733333338=x
x=3.733333338

now we have:
26.6666667% of 14=3.733333338
