What is 2.333 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 7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7=100%
2) x=2.333%
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:
7/x=100%/2.333%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 2.333% of 7

7/x=100/2.333
(7/x)*x=(100/2.333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7=42.863266180883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.863266180883) to get x
7/42.863266180883=x
0.16331=x
x=0.16331

now we have:
2.333% of 7=0.16331
