7.08 is what percent of 321 - 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 321 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 321, so we can write it down as 100%=321.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=321
2) x%=7.08
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%=321/7.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.08 is what percent of 321

100%/x%=321/7.08
(100/x)*x=(321/7.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=45.338983050847*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (45.338983050847) to get x
100/45.338983050847=x
2.2056074766355=x
x=2.2056074766355

now we have:
7.08 is 2.2056074766355% of 321
