10 is what percent of 1.22 - 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 1.22 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 1.22, so we can write it down as 100%=1.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 10 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.22
2) x%=10
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%=1.22/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10 is what percent of 1.22

100%/x%=1.22/10
(100/x)*x=(1.22/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.122) to get x
100/0.122=x
819.67213114754=x
x=819.67213114754

now we have:
10 is 819.67213114754% of 1.22
