7.75 is what percent of 47.53 - 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 47.53 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 47.53, so we can write it down as 100%=47.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47.53
2) x%=7.75
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%=47.53/7.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.75 is what percent of 47.53

100%/x%=47.53/7.75
(100/x)*x=(47.53/7.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1329032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1329032258065) to get x
100/6.1329032258065=x
16.305491268672=x
x=16.305491268672

now we have:
7.75 is 16.305491268672% of 47.53
