it's 77.78

Explanation:

14: 18*100 =

(14*100): 18 =

1400: 18 = 77.78

Now we have: 14 is what percent of 18 = 77.78

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.
