7.38 is what percent of 95.5 - 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 95.5 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 95.5, so we can write it down as 100%=95.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=95.5
2) x%=7.38
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%=95.5/7.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.38 is what percent of 95.5

100%/x%=95.5/7.38
(100/x)*x=(95.5/7.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.940379403794*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.940379403794) to get x
100/12.940379403794=x
7.7277486910995=x
x=7.7277486910995

now we have:
7.38 is 7.7277486910995% of 95.5
