7.31 is what percent of 609.25 - 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 609.25 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 609.25, so we can write it down as 100%=609.25.
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%=609.25
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%=609.25/7.31
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 609.25

100%/x%=609.25/7.31
(100/x)*x=(609.25/7.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=83.344733242134*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.344733242134) to get x
100/83.344733242134=x
1.1998358637669=x
x=1.1998358637669

now we have:
7.31 is 1.1998358637669% of 609.25
