7.7 is what percent of 6.32 - 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 6.32 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 6.32, so we can write it down as 100%=6.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.32
2) x%=7.7
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%=6.32/7.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.7 is what percent of 6.32

100%/x%=6.32/7.7
(100/x)*x=(6.32/7.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.82077922077922*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.82077922077922) to get x
100/0.82077922077922=x
121.83544303797=x
x=121.83544303797

now we have:
7.7 is 121.83544303797% of 6.32
