7 is what percent of 8141 - 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 8141 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 8141, so we can write it down as 100%=8141.
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%=8141
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%=8141/7
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 8141

100%/x%=8141/7
(100/x)*x=(8141/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1163*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1163) to get x
100/1163=x
0.085984522785899=x
x=0.085984522785899

now we have:
7 is 0.085984522785899% of 8141
