101.5 is what percent of 7638 - 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 7638 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 7638, so we can write it down as 100%=7638.
4. We know, that x% equals 101.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=101.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7638
2) x%=101.5
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%=7638/101.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 101.5 is what percent of 7638

100%/x%=7638/101.5
(100/x)*x=(7638/101.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=75.251231527094*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (75.251231527094) to get x
100/75.251231527094=x
1.3288819062582=x
x=1.3288819062582

now we have:
101.5 is 1.3288819062582% of 7638
