What is 33.3333333333 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 33.3333333333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.3333333333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14=100%
2) x=33.3333333333%
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%/33.3333333333%
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 33.3333333333% of 14

14/x=100/33.3333333333
(14/x)*x=(100/33.3333333333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14=3.000000000003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.000000000003) to get x
14/3.000000000003=x
4.666666666662=x
x=4.666666666662

now we have:
33.3333333333% of 14=4.666666666662
