537.78 is what percent of 7682.5 - 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 7682.5 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 7682.5, so we can write it down as 100%=7682.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 537.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=537.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7682.5
2) x%=537.78
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%=7682.5/537.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 537.78 is what percent of 7682.5

100%/x%=7682.5/537.78
(100/x)*x=(7682.5/537.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.285581464539*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.285581464539) to get x
100/14.285581464539=x
7.0000650829808=x
x=7.0000650829808

now we have:
