0.43 is what percent of 7.23 - 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 7.23 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 7.23, so we can write it down as 100%=7.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.23
2) x%=0.43
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%=7.23/0.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.43 is what percent of 7.23

100%/x%=7.23/0.43
(100/x)*x=(7.23/0.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.813953488372*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.813953488372) to get x
100/16.813953488372=x
5.9474412171508=x
x=5.9474412171508

now we have:
0.43 is 5.9474412171508% of 7.23
