7.12 is what percent of 6.57 - 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 6.57 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 6.57, so we can write it down as 100%=6.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.57
2) x%=7.12
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%=6.57/7.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.12 is what percent of 6.57

100%/x%=6.57/7.12
(100/x)*x=(6.57/7.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.92275280898876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.92275280898876) to get x
100/0.92275280898876=x
108.37138508371=x
x=108.37138508371

now we have:
7.12 is 108.37138508371% of 6.57
