7.31 is what percent of 37.51 - 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 37.51 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 37.51, so we can write it down as 100%=37.51.
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%=37.51
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%=37.51/7.31
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 37.51

100%/x%=37.51/7.31
(100/x)*x=(37.51/7.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1313269493844*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1313269493844) to get x
100/5.1313269493844=x
19.488136496934=x
x=19.488136496934

now we have:
7.31 is 19.488136496934% of 37.51
