149.67 is what percent of 17222 - 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 17222 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 17222, so we can write it down as 100%=17222.
4. We know, that x% equals 149.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=149.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17222
2) x%=149.67
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%=17222/149.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 149.67 is what percent of 17222

100%/x%=17222/149.67
(100/x)*x=(17222/149.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=115.06647958843*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (115.06647958843) to get x
100/115.06647958843=x
0.86906282661712=x
x=0.86906282661712

now we have:
