112.22 is what percent of 286.79 - 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 286.79 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 286.79, so we can write it down as 100%=286.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 112.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=112.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=286.79
2) x%=112.22
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%=286.79/112.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 112.22 is what percent of 286.79

100%/x%=286.79/112.22
(100/x)*x=(286.79/112.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5556050614864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5556050614864) to get x
100/2.5556050614864=x
39.129676766972=x
x=39.129676766972

now we have:
