What is 66.667 percent of 7.15 - 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 7.15 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 7.15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 66.667% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=66.667%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.15=100%
2) x=66.667%
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:
7.15/x=100%/66.667%
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 66.667% of 7.15

7.15/x=100/66.667
(7.15/x)*x=(100/66.667)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.15=1.4999925000375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4999925000375) to get x
7.15/1.4999925000375=x
4.7666905=x
x=4.7666905

now we have:
66.667% of 7.15=4.7666905
