7.69 is what percent of 12.18 - 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 12.18 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 12.18, so we can write it down as 100%=12.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.18
2) x%=7.69
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%=12.18/7.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.69 is what percent of 12.18

100%/x%=12.18/7.69
(100/x)*x=(12.18/7.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5838751625488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5838751625488) to get x
100/1.5838751625488=x
63.136288998358=x
x=63.136288998358

now we have:
7.69 is 63.136288998358% of 12.18
