Question

14 is 28% of what number

Answer 1

'is' in mathematics means the equal sign
'of' in mathematics means the multiplication sign
the number can be any variable you chose it to be

$14 = \frac{28}{100} \times x$

Divide both sides by 28

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{100}$

Multiply by 100 on both sides to isolate 'x'

$\boxed{\bf{x=50}}$

14 is 28% of 200

Answer 2

14 is 28% of 50.

Change your percentage into a decimal: 28%/100 = 0.28
Now divide it by 14: 14 ÷ 0.28 = 50 <-- our answer.
