Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that 500 languages is a certain percent of the 7,111 total languages. When working with percent equations, the word "is" means "equals", and "of" usually means "multiplied by" This means that 500 is equal to a certain percent multiplied by 7,111. We can use p to represent this certain percent and create an equation below.
500=7,111p
Let's flip the equation around so the p is on the left side. Variables are usually supposed to be on the left.
7,111p=500
We divide both sides by 7,111.
p=0.0703
As a percent, this is about 7.03%. Therefore, about 7.03% of the total languages spoken globally are represented on WikiTongues.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
