8220 is what percent of 7 - 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 7 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 7, so we can write it down as 100%=7.
4. We know, that x% equals 8220 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8220.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7
2) x%=8220
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%=7/8220
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8220 is what percent of 7

100%/x%=7/8220
(100/x)*x=(7/8220)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00085158150851582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00085158150851582) to get x
100/0.00085158150851582=x
117428.57142857=x
x=117428.57142857

now we have:
8220 is 117428.57142857% of 7
