What is 7 percent of 14199 - 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 14199 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 14199 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14199=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14199=100%
2) x=7%
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:
14199/x=100%/7%
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 7% of 14199

14199/x=100/7
(14199/x)*x=(100/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14199=14.2857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.2857142857) to get x
14199/14.2857142857=x
993.93=x
x=993.93

now we have:
7% of 14199=993.93
