0.22 is what percent of 7.47 - 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 7.47 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 7.47, so we can write it down as 100%=7.47.
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%=7.47
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%=7.47/0.22
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 7.47

100%/x%=7.47/0.22
(100/x)*x=(7.47/0.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.954545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.954545454545) to get x
100/33.954545454545=x
2.9451137884873=x
x=2.9451137884873

now we have:
0.22 is 2.9451137884873% of 7.47
