So lets say that 86 is 100%, Because it is the full value,
Now we find a variable to substitute what we are looking for,
If 86 is 100%, so we can write it down as 86=100%, so 86=100%
So then if we know that x is 14% of 86, so x=14%
Now we only have two equations to solve,
1. 86=100%
2. x=14%
Where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we do; 86/x=100%/14%
Now we just solve the easy part,
Solution for what is 14% of 86,
86/x=100/14
(86/x)*x=(100/14)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
86=7.14285714286*x - we divide both sides of the equation by
(7.14285714286) to get x
86/7.14285714286=x
x=12.04
That means that the correct answer is 14% of 86=12.04
