1.57 is what percent of 22.14 - 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 22.14 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 22.14, so we can write it down as 100%=22.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.14
2) x%=1.57
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%=22.14/1.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.57 is what percent of 22.14

100%/x%=22.14/1.57
(100/x)*x=(22.14/1.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.101910828025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.101910828025) to get x
100/14.101910828025=x
7.0912375790425=x
x=7.0912375790425

now we have:
1.57 is 7.0912375790425% of 22.14
