Turn the words into an equation:
"97.3" --> 97.3
"is" --> =
"7%" --> 7/100
"of" --> * (times)
"what number" --> x
So your equation is:
97.3 = (7/100) x
Multiply both sides by 100/7:
x = 97.3 * 100/7
...... 97.3 .. 100
x = ------- x -----
......... 1 ....... 7
Multiply across:
...... 9730
x = -------
......... 7
Simplify:
x = 1390
So 97.3 is 7% of 1,390.

This is how you would set up your problem: 97.3 = 7/100x
Then you would divide 7/100 into both sides getting. . .
1390 = x

Let the number be 'x'
7x/100 = 97.3
7x = 9730
x = 9730/7
x = 1390
97.3 is 7% of 1390

Let x be the number
So x*0.07=97.3
x=1390
