14 is what percent of 2211 - 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 2211 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 2211, so we can write it down as 100%=2211.
4. We know, that x% equals 14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2211
2) x%=14
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%=2211/14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14 is what percent of 2211

100%/x%=2211/14
(100/x)*x=(2211/14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=157.92857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (157.92857142857) to get x
100/157.92857142857=x
0.63319764812302=x
x=0.63319764812302

now we have:
14 is 0.63319764812302% of 2211
