Let us simply set up an equation.

What percent of 49 is 7.

x% of 49 = 7.

x/100 * 49 = 7.

49x/100 = 7.  Simply cross multiply

49x  = 7 * 100

x = 7* 100 /49 = 100/7.  = 14    2/7

So it is 14 and  2/7%    or  ≈ 14.286%
We set up a proportion: 7/49= ?/100

Cross multiply: 49*?= 7*100
⇒ ?= 7*100/49= 14.29

7 is 14.29% of 49.
