0.22 is what percent of 1.84 - 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 1.84 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 1.84, so we can write it down as 100%=1.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.84
2) x%=0.22
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%=1.84/0.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.22 is what percent of 1.84

100%/x%=1.84/0.22
(100/x)*x=(1.84/0.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.3636363636364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3636363636364) to get x
100/8.3636363636364=x
11.95652173913=x
x=11.95652173913

now we have:
0.22 is 11.95652173913% of 1.84
