7.23 is what percent of 186.79 - 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 186.79 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 186.79, so we can write it down as 100%=186.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=186.79
2) x%=7.23
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%=186.79/7.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.23 is what percent of 186.79

100%/x%=186.79/7.23
(100/x)*x=(186.79/7.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.83540802213*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.83540802213) to get x
100/25.83540802213=x
3.8706568874137=x
x=3.8706568874137

now we have:
7.23 is 3.8706568874137% of 186.79
