7.25 is what percent of 58.31 - 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 58.31 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 58.31, so we can write it down as 100%=58.31.
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%=58.31
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%=58.31/7.25
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 58.31

100%/x%=58.31/7.25
(100/x)*x=(58.31/7.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.0427586206897*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0427586206897) to get x
100/8.0427586206897=x
12.43354484651=x
x=12.43354484651

now we have:
7.25 is 12.43354484651% of 58.31
