8.15 is what percent of 7.7 - 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 7.7 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 7.7, so we can write it down as 100%=7.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.7
2) x%=8.15
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%=7.7/8.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.15 is what percent of 7.7

100%/x%=7.7/8.15
(100/x)*x=(7.7/8.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.94478527607362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.94478527607362) to get x
100/0.94478527607362=x
105.84415584416=x
x=105.84415584416

now we have:
8.15 is 105.84415584416% of 7.7
