7.11 is what percent of 17.51 - 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 17.51 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 17.51, so we can write it down as 100%=17.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.51
2) x%=7.11
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%=17.51/7.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.11 is what percent of 17.51

100%/x%=17.51/7.11
(100/x)*x=(17.51/7.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4627285513361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4627285513361) to get x
100/2.4627285513361=x
40.605368360937=x
x=40.605368360937

now we have:
7.11 is 40.605368360937% of 17.51
