72100 is what percent of 7 - 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 7 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 7, so we can write it down as 100%=7.
4. We know, that x% equals 72100 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=72100.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7
2) x%=72100
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%=7/72100
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 72100 is what percent of 7

100%/x%=7/72100
(100/x)*x=(7/72100)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.7087378640777E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7087378640777E-5) to get x
100/9.7087378640777E-5=x
1030000=x
x=1030000

now we have:
72100 is 1030000% of 7
