7 is what percent of 132.32 - 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 132.32 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 132.32, so we can write it down as 100%=132.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132.32
2) x%=7
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%=132.32/7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7 is what percent of 132.32

100%/x%=132.32/7
(100/x)*x=(132.32/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.902857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.902857142857) to get x
100/18.902857142857=x
5.2902055622733=x
x=5.2902055622733

now we have:
7 is 5.2902055622733% of 132.32
