7 is what percent of 6114 - 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 6114 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 6114, so we can write it down as 100%=6114.
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%=6114
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%=6114/7
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 6114

100%/x%=6114/7
(100/x)*x=(6114/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=873.42857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (873.42857142857) to get x
100/873.42857142857=x
0.11449133137062=x
x=0.11449133137062

now we have:
7 is 0.11449133137062% of 6114
