7 is what percent of 8767 - 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 8767 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 8767, so we can write it down as 100%=8767.
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%=8767
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%=8767/7
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 8767

100%/x%=8767/7
(100/x)*x=(8767/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1252.4285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1252.4285714286) to get x
100/1252.4285714286=x
0.079844872818524=x
x=0.079844872818524

now we have:
7 is 0.079844872818524% of 8767
