7.41 is what percent of 476.68 - 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 476.68 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 476.68, so we can write it down as 100%=476.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=476.68
2) x%=7.41
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%=476.68/7.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.41 is what percent of 476.68

100%/x%=476.68/7.41
(100/x)*x=(476.68/7.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=64.329284750337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (64.329284750337) to get x
100/64.329284750337=x
1.5545019719728=x
x=1.5545019719728

now we have:
7.41 is 1.5545019719728% of 476.68
