7.76 is what percent of 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 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 53, so we can write it down as 100%=53.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=53
2) x%=7.76
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%=53/7.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.76 is what percent of 53

100%/x%=53/7.76
(100/x)*x=(53/7.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.8298969072165*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.8298969072165) to get x
100/6.8298969072165=x
14.641509433962=x
x=14.641509433962

now we have:
7.76 is 14.641509433962% of 53
