1.22 is what percent of 17.62 - 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 17.62 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 17.62, so we can write it down as 100%=17.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.62
2) x%=1.22
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%=17.62/1.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.22 is what percent of 17.62

100%/x%=17.62/1.22
(100/x)*x=(17.62/1.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.44262295082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.44262295082) to get x
100/14.44262295082=x
6.9239500567537=x
x=6.9239500567537

now we have:
1.22 is 6.9239500567537% of 17.62
