What is 725 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 725% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=725%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.5=100%
2) x=725%
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%/725%
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 725% of 14.5

14.5/x=100/725
(14.5/x)*x=(100/725)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.5=0.13793103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13793103448276) to get x
14.5/0.13793103448276=x
105.125=x
x=105.125

now we have:
725% of 14.5=105.125
