7.05 is what percent of 28.96 - 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 28.96 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 28.96, so we can write it down as 100%=28.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.96
2) x%=7.05
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%=28.96/7.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.05 is what percent of 28.96

100%/x%=28.96/7.05
(100/x)*x=(28.96/7.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1078014184397*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1078014184397) to get x
100/4.1078014184397=x
24.343922651934=x
x=24.343922651934

now we have:
7.05 is 24.343922651934% of 28.96
