What is 27.77777778 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 27.77777778% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.77777778%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14=100%
2) x=27.77777778%
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%/27.77777778%
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 27.77777778% of 14

14/x=100/27.77777778
(14/x)*x=(100/27.77777778)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14=3.599999999712*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.599999999712) to get x
14/3.599999999712=x
3.8888888892=x
x=3.8888888892

now we have:
27.77777778% of 14=3.8888888892
