What is 9.6 percent of 14.09 - 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 14.09 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 14.09 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.09=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.09=100%
2) x=9.6%
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:
14.09/x=100%/9.6%
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 9.6% of 14.09

14.09/x=100/9.6
(14.09/x)*x=(100/9.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.09=10.416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.416666666667) to get x
14.09/10.416666666667=x
1.35264=x
x=1.35264

now we have:
9.6% of 14.09=1.35264
