298.45 is what percent of 5614 - 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 5614 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 5614, so we can write it down as 100%=5614.
4. We know, that x% equals 298.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=298.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5614
2) x%=298.45
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%=5614/298.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 298.45 is what percent of 5614

100%/x%=5614/298.45
(100/x)*x=(5614/298.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.810521025297*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.810521025297) to get x
100/18.810521025297=x
5.3161738510866=x
x=5.3161738510866

now we have:
298.45 is 5.3161738510866% of 5614
