1.05 is what percent of 22.68 - 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 22.68 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 22.68, so we can write it down as 100%=22.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.68
2) x%=1.05
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%=22.68/1.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.05 is what percent of 22.68

100%/x%=22.68/1.05
(100/x)*x=(22.68/1.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.6) to get x
100/21.6=x
4.6296296296296=x
x=4.6296296296296

now we have:
1.05 is 4.6296296296296% of 22.68
