7 is what percent of 367 - 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 367 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 367, so we can write it down as 100%=367.
4. We know, that x% equals 7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=367
2) x%=7
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%=367/7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7 is what percent of 367

100%/x%=367/7
(100/x)*x=(367/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=52.4285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.4285714286) to get x
100/52.4285714286=x
1.90735694823=x
x=1.90735694823

now we have:
7 is 1.90735694823% of 367
