7 is what percent of 221329 - 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 221329 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 221329, so we can write it down as 100%=221329.
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%=221329
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%=221329/7
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 221329

100%/x%=221329/7
(100/x)*x=(221329/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31618.428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31618.428571429) to get x
100/31618.428571429=x
0.0031627125229861=x
x=0.0031627125229861

now we have:
