What is 80 percent of 14.09024 - 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 14.09024 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 14.09024 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.09024=100%.
4. We know, that x is 80% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=80%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.09024=100%
2) x=80%
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:
14.09024/x=100%/80%
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 80% of 14.09024

14.09024/x=100/80
(14.09024/x)*x=(100/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.09024=1.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x
14.09024/1.25=x
11.272192=x
x=11.272192

now we have:
80% of 14.09024=11.272192
