2.2 is what percent of 1.474 - 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 1.474 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 1.474, so we can write it down as 100%=1.474.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.474
2) x%=2.2
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%=1.474/2.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.2 is what percent of 1.474

100%/x%=1.474/2.2
(100/x)*x=(1.474/2.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.67*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.67) to get x
100/0.67=x
149.253731343=x
x=149.253731343

now we have:
2.2 is 149.253731343% of 1.474
