7.02 is what percent of 10.5 - 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 10.5 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 10.5, so we can write it down as 100%=10.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.5
2) x%=7.02
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%=10.5/7.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.02 is what percent of 10.5

100%/x%=10.5/7.02
(100/x)*x=(10.5/7.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4957264957265*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4957264957265) to get x
100/1.4957264957265=x
66.857142857143=x
x=66.857142857143

now we have:
7.02 is 66.857142857143% of 10.5
