7.5 is what percent of 562.38 - 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 562.38 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 562.38, so we can write it down as 100%=562.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=562.38
2) x%=7.5
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%=562.38/7.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.5 is what percent of 562.38

100%/x%=562.38/7.5
(100/x)*x=(562.38/7.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=74.984*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (74.984) to get x
100/74.984=x
1.3336178384722=x
x=1.3336178384722

now we have:
7.5 is 1.3336178384722% of 562.38
