14 is what percent of 336.757 - 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 336.757 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 336.757, so we can write it down as 100%=336.757.
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%=336.757
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%=336.757/14
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 336.757

100%/x%=336.757/14
(100/x)*x=(336.757/14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.054071428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.054071428571) to get x
100/24.054071428571=x
4.1573003679211=x
x=4.1573003679211

now we have:
14 is 4.1573003679211% of 336.757
