7171 is what percent of 10151 - 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 10151 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 10151, so we can write it down as 100%=10151.
4. We know, that x% equals 7171 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7171.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10151
2) x%=7171
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%=10151/7171
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7171 is what percent of 10151

100%/x%=10151/7171
(100/x)*x=(10151/7171)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4155626830289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4155626830289) to get x
100/1.4155626830289=x
70.643286375727=x
x=70.643286375727

now we have:
7171 is 70.643286375727% of 10151
