Solution for 14.6 is what percent of 21:

14.6:21*100 =

(14.6*100):21 =

1460:21 = 69.52380952381

Now we have: 14.6 is what percent of 21 = 69.52380952381

Question: 14.6 is what percent of 21?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 21 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=21$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=14.6$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=21(1)$.

$x\%=14.6(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have the correct answer
