2.1 is what percent of 2.22 - 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 2.22 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 2.22, so we can write it down as 100%=2.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.22
2) x%=2.1
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%=2.22/2.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.1 is what percent of 2.22

100%/x%=2.22/2.1
(100/x)*x=(2.22/2.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0571428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0571428571429) to get x
100/1.0571428571429=x
94.594594594595=x
x=94.594594594595

now we have:
2.1 is 94.594594594595% of 2.22
