2.14 is what percent of 0.34 - 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 0.34 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 0.34, so we can write it down as 100%=0.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.34
2) x%=2.14
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%=0.34/2.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.14 is what percent of 0.34

100%/x%=0.34/2.14
(100/x)*x=(0.34/2.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.1588785046729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1588785046729) to get x
100/0.1588785046729=x
629.41176470588=x
x=629.41176470588

now we have:
2.14 is 629.41176470588% of 0.34
