7 is what percent of 227708 - 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 227708 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 227708, so we can write it down as 100%=227708.
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%=227708
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%=227708/7
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 227708

100%/x%=227708/7
(100/x)*x=(227708/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32529.714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32529.714285714) to get x
100/32529.714285714=x
0.003074112459817=x
x=0.003074112459817

now we have:
