7.32 is what percent of 7.7 - 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 7.7 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 7.7, so we can write it down as 100%=7.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.7
2) x%=7.32
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%=7.7/7.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.32 is what percent of 7.7

100%/x%=7.7/7.32
(100/x)*x=(7.7/7.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.051912568306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.051912568306) to get x
100/1.051912568306=x
95.064935064935=x
x=95.064935064935

now we have:
7.32 is 95.064935064935% of 7.7
