14.21 is what percent of 136.21 - 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 136.21 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 136.21, so we can write it down as 100%=136.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136.21
2) x%=14.21
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%=136.21/14.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.21 is what percent of 136.21

100%/x%=136.21/14.21
(100/x)*x=(136.21/14.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.585503166784*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.585503166784) to get x
100/9.585503166784=x
10.432420527127=x
x=10.432420527127

now we have:
14.21 is 10.432420527127% of 136.21
