7 is what percent of 727 - 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 727 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 727, so we can write it down as 100%=727.
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%=727
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%=727/7
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 727

100%/x%=727/7
(100/x)*x=(727/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=103.85714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (103.85714285714) to get x
100/103.85714285714=x
0.96286107290234=x
x=0.96286107290234

now we have:
7 is 0.96286107290234% of 727
