7.33 is what percent of 82.3 - 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 82.3 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 82.3, so we can write it down as 100%=82.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=82.3
2) x%=7.33
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%=82.3/7.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.33 is what percent of 82.3

100%/x%=82.3/7.33
(100/x)*x=(82.3/7.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.227830832196*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.227830832196) to get x
100/11.227830832196=x
8.906439854192=x
x=8.906439854192

now we have:
7.33 is 8.906439854192% of 82.3
