495.25 is what percent of 7.914 - 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 7.914 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 7.914, so we can write it down as 100%=7.914.
4. We know, that x% equals 495.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=495.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.914
2) x%=495.25
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%=7.914/495.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 495.25 is what percent of 7.914

100%/x%=7.914/495.25
(100/x)*x=(7.914/495.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.015979808177688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.015979808177688) to get x
100/0.015979808177688=x
6257.8973970179=x
x=6257.8973970179

now we have:
