7.72 is what percent of 9.52 - 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 9.52 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 9.52, so we can write it down as 100%=9.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.52
2) x%=7.72
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%=9.52/7.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.72 is what percent of 9.52

100%/x%=9.52/7.72
(100/x)*x=(9.52/7.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2331606217617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2331606217617) to get x
100/1.2331606217617=x
81.09243697479=x
x=81.09243697479

now we have:
7.72 is 81.09243697479% of 9.52
