7.65 is what percent of 477.45 - 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 477.45 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 477.45, so we can write it down as 100%=477.45.
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%=477.45
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%=477.45/7.65
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 477.45

100%/x%=477.45/7.65
(100/x)*x=(477.45/7.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.411764705882) to get x
100/62.411764705882=x
1.6022620169651=x
x=1.6022620169651

now we have:
7.65 is 1.6022620169651% of 477.45
