7.65 is what percent of 1190 - 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 1190 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 1190, so we can write it down as 100%=1190.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1190
2) x%=7.65
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%=1190/7.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.65 is what percent of 1190

100%/x%=1190/7.65
(100/x)*x=(1190/7.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=155.55555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (155.55555555556) to get x
100/155.55555555556=x
0.64285714285714=x
x=0.64285714285714

now we have:
7.65 is 0.64285714285714% of 1190
