7.14 is what percent of 8000 - 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 8000 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 8000, so we can write it down as 100%=8000.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8000
2) x%=7.14
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%=8000/7.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.14 is what percent of 8000

100%/x%=8000/7.14
(100/x)*x=(8000/7.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1120.44817927*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1120.44817927) to get x
100/1120.44817927=x
0.08925=x
x=0.08925

now we have:
7.14 is 0.08925% of 8000
