What is 7.16 percent of 144.24 - 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 144.24 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 144.24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 144.24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 144.24=100%
2) x=7.16%
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:
144.24/x=100%/7.16%
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 7.16% of 144.24

144.24/x=100/7.16
(144.24/x)*x=(100/7.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
144.24=13.966480446927*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.966480446927) to get x
144.24/13.966480446927=x
10.327584=x
x=10.327584

now we have:
7.16% of 144.24=10.327584
