7.64 is what percent of 163.2 - 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 163.2 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 163.2, so we can write it down as 100%=163.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=163.2
2) x%=7.64
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%=163.2/7.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.64 is what percent of 163.2

100%/x%=163.2/7.64
(100/x)*x=(163.2/7.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.361256544503*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.361256544503) to get x
100/21.361256544503=x
4.6813725490196=x
x=4.6813725490196

now we have:
7.64 is 4.6813725490196% of 163.2
