1.5 is what percent of 222200 - 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 222200 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 222200, so we can write it down as 100%=222200.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=222200
2) x%=1.5
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%=222200/1.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.5 is what percent of 222200

100%/x%=222200/1.5
(100/x)*x=(222200/1.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=148133.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (148133.33333333) to get x
100/148133.33333333=x
0.00067506750675068=x
x=0.00067506750675068

now we have:
1.5 is 0.00067506750675068% of 222200
