10 is what percent of 22320 - 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 22320 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 22320, so we can write it down as 100%=22320.
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%=22320
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%=22320/10
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 22320

100%/x%=22320/10
(100/x)*x=(22320/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2232*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2232) to get x
100/2232=x
0.044802867383513=x
x=0.044802867383513

now we have:
10 is 0.044802867383513% of 22320
