7.56 is what percent of 555.7 - 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 555.7 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 555.7, so we can write it down as 100%=555.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=555.7
2) x%=7.56
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%=555.7/7.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.56 is what percent of 555.7

100%/x%=555.7/7.56
(100/x)*x=(555.7/7.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=73.505291005291*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (73.505291005291) to get x
100/73.505291005291=x
1.3604462839662=x
x=1.3604462839662

now we have:
7.56 is 1.3604462839662% of 555.7
