7.27 is what percent of 145.35 - 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 145.35 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 145.35, so we can write it down as 100%=145.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=145.35
2) x%=7.27
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%=145.35/7.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.27 is what percent of 145.35

100%/x%=145.35/7.27
(100/x)*x=(145.35/7.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.993122420908*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.993122420908) to get x
100/19.993122420908=x
5.0017199862401=x
x=5.0017199862401

now we have:
7.27 is 5.0017199862401% of 145.35
