10 is what percent of 223319 - 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 223319 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 223319, so we can write it down as 100%=223319.
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%=223319
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%=223319/10
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 223319

100%/x%=223319/10
(100/x)*x=(223319/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22331.9*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22331.9) to get x
100/22331.9=x
0.0044778993278673=x
x=0.0044778993278673

now we have:
