0.034 is what percent of 7 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 7 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 7, so we can write it down as 100%=7.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.034 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.034.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7
2) x%=0.034
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=7/0.034
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.034 is what percent of 7

100%/x%=7/0.034
(100/x)*x=(7/0.034)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=205.88235294118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (205.88235294118) to get x
100/205.88235294118=x
0.48571428571429=x
x=0.48571428571429

now we have:
0.034 is 0.48571428571429% of 7
