Question: 14 is what percent of 18?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 18 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=18$100%=18.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=14$x%=14.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=18(1)$100%=18(1).
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
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{18}{14}$100%x%=1814
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{14}{18}$x%100%=1418
$\Rightarrow x=77.78\%$⇒x=77.78%
Therefore, $14$14 is $77.78\%$77.78% of $18$18.
