103.6 is what percent of 220 - 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 220 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 220, so we can write it down as 100%=220.
4. We know, that x% equals 103.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=103.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=220
2) x%=103.6
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%=220/103.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 103.6 is what percent of 220

100%/x%=220/103.6
(100/x)*x=(220/103.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1235521235521*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1235521235521) to get x
100/2.1235521235521=x
47.090909090909=x
x=47.090909090909

now we have:
103.6 is 47.090909090909% of 220
