Question

14 is 28% of what number

Answer 1

14 is 28% of 50.

Change your percentage into a decimal: 28%/100 = 0.28
Now divide it by 14: 14 ÷ 0.28 = 50 <-- our answer.

Answer 2

'is' in mathematics means the equal sign
'of' in mathematics means the multiplication sign
the number can be any variable you chose it to be


`14 = (28)/(100) * x`

Divide both sides by 28


`(1)/(2) = (x)/(100)`

Multiply by 100 on both sides to isolate 'x'


`\boxed{\bf{x=50}}`

14 is 28% of 200
