7.31 is what percent of 146.15 - 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 146.15 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 146.15, so we can write it down as 100%=146.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=146.15
2) x%=7.31
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%=146.15/7.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.31 is what percent of 146.15

100%/x%=146.15/7.31
(100/x)*x=(146.15/7.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.99316005472*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.99316005472) to get x
100/19.99316005472=x
5.0017105713308=x
x=5.0017105713308

now we have:
7.31 is 5.0017105713308% of 146.15
