7.03 is what percent of 232.03 - 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 232.03 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 232.03, so we can write it down as 100%=232.03.
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%=232.03
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%=232.03/7.03
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 232.03

100%/x%=232.03/7.03
(100/x)*x=(232.03/7.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.005689900427*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.005689900427) to get x
100/33.005689900427=x
3.0297806318149=x
x=3.0297806318149

now we have:
7.03 is 3.0297806318149% of 232.03
