2.17 is what percent of 22.7 - 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 22.7 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 22.7, so we can write it down as 100%=22.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.7
2) x%=2.17
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%=22.7/2.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.17 is what percent of 22.7

100%/x%=22.7/2.17
(100/x)*x=(22.7/2.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.460829493088*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.460829493088) to get x
100/10.460829493088=x
9.5594713656388=x
x=9.5594713656388

now we have:
2.17 is 9.5594713656388% of 22.7
