11.4 is what percent of 14000 - 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 14000 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 14000, so we can write it down as 100%=14000.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14000
2) x%=11.4
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%=14000/11.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.4 is what percent of 14000

100%/x%=14000/11.4
(100/x)*x=(14000/11.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1228.0701754386*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1228.0701754386) to get x
100/1228.0701754386=x
0.081428571428571=x
x=0.081428571428571

now we have:
11.4 is 0.081428571428571% of 14000
