1 is what percent of 7.418 - 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 7.418 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 7.418, so we can write it down as 100%=7.418.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.418
2) x%=1
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%=7.418/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 7.418

100%/x%=7.418/1
(100/x)*x=(7.418/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.418*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.418) to get x
100/7.418=x
13.48072256673=x
x=13.48072256673

now we have:
1 is 13.48072256673% of 7.418
