7.75 is what percent of 6.5 - 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 6.5 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 6.5, so we can write it down as 100%=6.5.
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%=6.5
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%=6.5/7.75
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 6.5

100%/x%=6.5/7.75
(100/x)*x=(6.5/7.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.83870967741935*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.83870967741935) to get x
100/0.83870967741935=x
119.23076923077=x
x=119.23076923077

now we have:
7.75 is 119.23076923077% of 6.5
