14.74 is what percent of 19.46 - 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 19.46 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 19.46, so we can write it down as 100%=19.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.46
2) x%=14.74
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%=19.46/14.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.74 is what percent of 19.46

100%/x%=19.46/14.74
(100/x)*x=(19.46/14.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3202170963365*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3202170963365) to get x
100/1.3202170963365=x
75.745118191161=x
x=75.745118191161

now we have:
14.74 is 75.745118191161% of 19.46
