10 is what percent of 14303 - 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 14303 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 100% equals 14303, so we can write it down as 100%=14303.
4. We know, that x% equals 10 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14303
2) x%=10
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:
100%/x%=14303/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10 is what percent of 14303

100%/x%=14303/10
(100/x)*x=(14303/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1430.3*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1430.3) to get x
100/1430.3=x
0.069915402363141=x
x=0.069915402363141

now we have:
10 is 0.069915402363141% of 14303
