0.66 is what percent of 22.62 - 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 22.62 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 22.62, so we can write it down as 100%=22.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.62
2) x%=0.66
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%=22.62/0.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.66 is what percent of 22.62

100%/x%=22.62/0.66
(100/x)*x=(22.62/0.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.272727272727*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.272727272727) to get x
100/34.272727272727=x
2.9177718832891=x
x=2.9177718832891

now we have:
0.66 is 2.9177718832891% of 22.62
