14 is 28% of what number
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.
'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
