29.3 is what percent of 14 - 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 14 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 14, so we can write it down as 100%=14.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14
2) x%=29.3
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%=14/29.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.3 is what percent of 14

100%/x%=14/29.3
(100/x)*x=(14/29.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.4778156996587*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4778156996587) to get x
100/0.4778156996587=x
209.28571428571=x
x=209.28571428571

now we have:
29.3 is 209.28571428571% of 14
