7 is what percent of 1433 - 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 1433 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 1433, so we can write it down as 100%=1433.
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%=1433
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%=1433/7
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 1433

100%/x%=1433/7
(100/x)*x=(1433/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=204.71428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (204.71428571429) to get x
100/204.71428571429=x
0.48848569434752=x
x=0.48848569434752

now we have:
7 is 0.48848569434752% of 1433
