0.223 is what percent of 2 - 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 2 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 2, so we can write it down as 100%=2.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.223 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.223.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=0.223
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%=2/0.223
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.223 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/0.223
(100/x)*x=(2/0.223)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9686098654709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9686098654709) to get x
100/8.9686098654709=x
11.15=x
x=11.15

now we have:
0.223 is 11.15% of 2
