449 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 449 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=449.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7
2) x%=449
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%=7/449
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 449 is what percent of 7

100%/x%=7/449
(100/x)*x=(7/449)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.015590200445434*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.015590200445434) to get x
100/0.015590200445434=x
6414.2857142857=x
x=6414.2857142857

now we have:
449 is 6414.2857142857% of 7
