546.88 is what percent of 7000 - 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 7000 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 7000, so we can write it down as 100%=7000.
4. We know, that x% equals 546.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=546.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7000
2) x%=546.88
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%=7000/546.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 546.88 is what percent of 7000

100%/x%=7000/546.88
(100/x)*x=(7000/546.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.799882972499*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.799882972499) to get x
100/12.799882972499=x
7.8125714285714=x
x=7.8125714285714

now we have:
546.88 is 7.8125714285714% of 7000
