7.05 is what percent of 5.4 - 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 5.4 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 5.4, so we can write it down as 100%=5.4.
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%=5.4
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%=5.4/7.05
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 5.4

100%/x%=5.4/7.05
(100/x)*x=(5.4/7.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.76595744680851*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.76595744680851) to get x
100/0.76595744680851=x
130.55555555556=x
x=130.55555555556

now we have:
7.05 is 130.55555555556% of 5.4
