7.62 is what percent of 58.65 - 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 58.65 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 58.65, so we can write it down as 100%=58.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58.65
2) x%=7.62
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%=58.65/7.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.62 is what percent of 58.65

100%/x%=58.65/7.62
(100/x)*x=(58.65/7.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6968503937008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6968503937008) to get x
100/7.6968503937008=x
12.992327365729=x
x=12.992327365729

now we have:
7.62 is 12.992327365729% of 58.65
