7 is what percent of 1641 - 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 1641 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 1641, so we can write it down as 100%=1641.
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%=1641
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%=1641/7
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 1641

100%/x%=1641/7
(100/x)*x=(1641/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=234.42857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (234.42857142857) to get x
100/234.42857142857=x
0.42656916514321=x
x=0.42656916514321

now we have:
7 is 0.42656916514321% of 1641
