1.07 is what percent of 2.65 - 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 2.65 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 2.65, so we can write it down as 100%=2.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.65
2) x%=1.07
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%=2.65/1.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.07 is what percent of 2.65

100%/x%=2.65/1.07
(100/x)*x=(2.65/1.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4766355140187*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4766355140187) to get x
100/2.4766355140187=x
40.377358490566=x
x=40.377358490566

now we have:
1.07 is 40.377358490566% of 2.65
