What is 3.68 percent of 14.94 - 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 14.94 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 14.94 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.94=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.94=100%
2) x=3.68%
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:
14.94/x=100%/3.68%
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 3.68% of 14.94

14.94/x=100/3.68
(14.94/x)*x=(100/3.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.94=27.173913043478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.173913043478) to get x
14.94/27.173913043478=x
0.549792=x
x=0.549792

now we have:
3.68% of 14.94=0.549792
