12.22 is what percent of 650 - 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 650 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 650, so we can write it down as 100%=650.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=650
2) x%=12.22
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%=650/12.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.22 is what percent of 650

100%/x%=650/12.22
(100/x)*x=(650/12.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=53.191489361702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (53.191489361702) to get x
100/53.191489361702=x
1.88=x
x=1.88

now we have:
12.22 is 1.88% of 650
