3.65 is what percent of 7.76 - 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 7.76 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 7.76, so we can write it down as 100%=7.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.76
2) x%=3.65
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%=7.76/3.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.65 is what percent of 7.76

100%/x%=7.76/3.65
(100/x)*x=(7.76/3.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1260273972603*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1260273972603) to get x
100/2.1260273972603=x
47.036082474227=x
x=47.036082474227

now we have:
3.65 is 47.036082474227% of 7.76
