What is 64.6 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 64.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=64.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7=100%
2) x=64.6%
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%/64.6%
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 64.6% of 7

7/x=100/64.6
(7/x)*x=(100/64.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7=1.5479876160991*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5479876160991) to get x
7/1.5479876160991=x
4.522=x
x=4.522

now we have:
64.6% of 7=4.522
