7.25 is what percent of 6999 - 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 6999 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 6999, so we can write it down as 100%=6999.
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%=6999
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%=6999/7.25
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 6999

100%/x%=6999/7.25
(100/x)*x=(6999/7.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=965.37931034483*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (965.37931034483) to get x
100/965.37931034483=x
0.1035862266038=x
x=0.1035862266038

now we have:
7.25 is 0.1035862266038% of 6999
