What is 41.6666666667 percent of 14.5 - 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 14.5 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 14.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.6666666667% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.6666666667%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.5=100%
2) x=41.6666666667%
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:
14.5/x=100%/41.6666666667%
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 41.6666666667% of 14.5

14.5/x=100/41.6666666667
(14.5/x)*x=(100/41.6666666667)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.5=2.3999999999981*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3999999999981) to get x
14.5/2.3999999999981=x
6.0416666666715=x
x=6.0416666666715

now we have:
41.6666666667% of 14.5=6.0416666666715
