7 is what percent of 9155 - 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 9155 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 9155, so we can write it down as 100%=9155.
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%=9155
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%=9155/7
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 9155

100%/x%=9155/7
(100/x)*x=(9155/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1307.8571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1307.8571428571) to get x
100/1307.8571428571=x
0.076460950300382=x
x=0.076460950300382

now we have:
7 is 0.076460950300382% of 9155
