10.22 is what percent of 15 - 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 15 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 15, so we can write it down as 100%=15.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15
2) x%=10.22
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%=15/10.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.22 is what percent of 15

100%/x%=15/10.22
(100/x)*x=(15/10.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.46771037182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.46771037182) to get x
100/1.46771037182=x
68.133333333333=x
x=68.133333333333

now we have:
10.22 is 68.133333333333% of 15
