7 is what percent of 19441 - 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 19441 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 19441, so we can write it down as 100%=19441.
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%=19441
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%=19441/7
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 19441

100%/x%=19441/7
(100/x)*x=(19441/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2777.2857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2777.2857142857) to get x
100/2777.2857142857=x
0.036006378272723=x
x=0.036006378272723

now we have:
7 is 0.036006378272723% of 19441
