Question

What percent of 86 is 14

Answer 1

the anwser is 614.29

Answer 2

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

Hope This Helps!!!
