14.24 is what percent of 94.93 - 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 94.93 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 94.93, so we can write it down as 100%=94.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.93
2) x%=14.24
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%=94.93/14.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.24 is what percent of 94.93

100%/x%=94.93/14.24
(100/x)*x=(94.93/14.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6664325842697*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6664325842697) to get x
100/6.6664325842697=x
15.000526703887=x
x=15.000526703887

now we have:
14.24 is 15.000526703887% of 94.93
