7 is what percent of 931 - 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 931 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 931, so we can write it down as 100%=931.
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%=931
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%=931/7
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 931

100%/x%=931/7
(100/x)*x=(931/7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (133) to get x
100/133=x
0.75187969924812=x
x=0.75187969924812

now we have:
7 is 0.75187969924812% of 931
