7.69 is what percent of 1716 - 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 1716 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 1716, so we can write it down as 100%=1716.
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%=1716
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%=1716/7.69
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 1716

100%/x%=1716/7.69
(100/x)*x=(1716/7.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=223.14694408322*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (223.14694408322) to get x
100/223.14694408322=x
0.4481351981352=x
x=0.4481351981352

now we have:
7.69 is 0.4481351981352% of 1716
