1.36 is what percent of 22.38 - 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 22.38 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 22.38, so we can write it down as 100%=22.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.38
2) x%=1.36
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%=22.38/1.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.36 is what percent of 22.38

100%/x%=22.38/1.36
(100/x)*x=(22.38/1.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.455882352941*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.455882352941) to get x
100/16.455882352941=x
6.076854334227=x
x=6.076854334227

now we have:
1.36 is 6.076854334227% of 22.38
