539.28 is what percent of 7500 - 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 7500 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 7500, so we can write it down as 100%=7500.
4. We know, that x% equals 539.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=539.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7500
2) x%=539.28
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%=7500/539.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 539.28 is what percent of 7500

100%/x%=7500/539.28
(100/x)*x=(7500/539.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.907432131731*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.907432131731) to get x
100/13.907432131731=x
7.1904=x
x=7.1904

now we have:
539.28 is 7.1904% of 7500
