7 is what percent of 7479 - 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 7479 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 7479, so we can write it down as 100%=7479.
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%=7479
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%=7479/7
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 7479

100%/x%=7479/7
(100/x)*x=(7479/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1068.4285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1068.4285714286) to get x
100/1068.4285714286=x
0.093595400454606=x
x=0.093595400454606

now we have:
7 is 0.093595400454606% of 7479
