7.03 is what percent of 10.4 - 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 10.4 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 10.4, so we can write it down as 100%=10.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.4
2) x%=7.03
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%=10.4/7.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.03 is what percent of 10.4

100%/x%=10.4/7.03
(100/x)*x=(10.4/7.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4793741109531*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4793741109531) to get x
100/1.4793741109531=x
67.596153846154=x
x=67.596153846154

now we have:
7.03 is 67.596153846154% of 10.4
