1.469 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 1.469 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.469.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7
2) x%=1.469
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%=7/1.469
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.469 is what percent of 7

100%/x%=7/1.469
(100/x)*x=(7/1.469)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7651463580667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7651463580667) to get x
100/4.7651463580667=x
20.985714285714=x
x=20.985714285714

now we have:
1.469 is 20.985714285714% of 7
