7403.5 is what percent of 7757.5 - 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 7757.5 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 7757.5, so we can write it down as 100%=7757.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 7403.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7403.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7757.5
2) x%=7403.5
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%=7757.5/7403.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7403.5 is what percent of 7757.5

(100/x)*x=(7757.5/7403.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0478152225299*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0478152225299) to get x
100/1.0478152225299=x
95.436674186271=x
x=95.436674186271

now we have:
