What is 3.36 percent of 14.95 - 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 14.95 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 14.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.95=100%
2) x=3.36%
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:
14.95/x=100%/3.36%
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 3.36% of 14.95

14.95/x=100/3.36
(14.95/x)*x=(100/3.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.95=29.761904761905*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.761904761905) to get x
14.95/29.761904761905=x
0.50232=x
x=0.50232

now we have:
3.36% of 14.95=0.50232
