7.28 is what percent of 370.28 - 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 370.28 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 370.28, so we can write it down as 100%=370.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=370.28
2) x%=7.28
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%=370.28/7.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.28 is what percent of 370.28

100%/x%=370.28/7.28
(100/x)*x=(370.28/7.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.862637362637*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.862637362637) to get x
100/50.862637362637=x
1.9660797234525=x
x=1.9660797234525

now we have:
7.28 is 1.9660797234525% of 370.28
