7.5 is what percent of 53300 - 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 53300 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 53300, so we can write it down as 100%=53300.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=53300
2) x%=7.5
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%=53300/7.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.5 is what percent of 53300

100%/x%=53300/7.5
(100/x)*x=(53300/7.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7106.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7106.6666666667) to get x
100/7106.6666666667=x
0.014071294559099=x
x=0.014071294559099

now we have:
7.5 is 0.014071294559099% of 53300
