7.3 is what percent of 800 - 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 800 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 800, so we can write it down as 100%=800.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=800
2) x%=7.3
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%=800/7.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.3 is what percent of 800

100%/x%=800/7.3
(100/x)*x=(800/7.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=109.58904109589*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (109.58904109589) to get x
100/109.58904109589=x
0.9125=x
x=0.9125

now we have:
7.3 is 0.9125% of 800
