7.7 is what percent of 190.2 - 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 190.2 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 190.2, so we can write it down as 100%=190.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=190.2
2) x%=7.7
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%=190.2/7.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.7 is what percent of 190.2

100%/x%=190.2/7.7
(100/x)*x=(190.2/7.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.701298701299*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.701298701299) to get x
100/24.701298701299=x
4.0483701366982=x
x=4.0483701366982

now we have:
7.7 is 4.0483701366982% of 190.2
