6990.37 is what percent of 7151 - 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 7151 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 7151, so we can write it down as 100%=7151.
4. We know, that x% equals 6990.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6990.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7151
2) x%=6990.37
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%=7151/6990.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6990.37 is what percent of 7151

100%/x%=7151/6990.37
(100/x)*x=(7151/6990.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0229787550587*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0229787550587) to get x
100/1.0229787550587=x
97.753740735561=x
x=97.753740735561

now we have:
6990.37 is 97.753740735561% of 7151
