7.25 is what percent of 4885 - 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 4885 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 4885, so we can write it down as 100%=4885.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4885
2) x%=7.25
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%=4885/7.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.25 is what percent of 4885

100%/x%=4885/7.25
(100/x)*x=(4885/7.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=673.79310344828*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (673.79310344828) to get x
100/673.79310344828=x
0.14841351074719=x
x=0.14841351074719

now we have:
7.25 is 0.14841351074719% of 4885
