7.92 is what percent of 0.3 - 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 0.3 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 0.3, so we can write it down as 100%=0.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.3
2) x%=7.92
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%=0.3/7.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.92 is what percent of 0.3

100%/x%=0.3/7.92
(100/x)*x=(0.3/7.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.037878787878788*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.037878787878788) to get x
100/0.037878787878788=x
2640=x
x=2640

now we have:
7.92 is 2640% of 0.3
