2.2 is what percent of 233.1 - 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 233.1 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 233.1, so we can write it down as 100%=233.1.
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%=233.1
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%=233.1/2.2
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 233.1

100%/x%=233.1/2.2
(100/x)*x=(233.1/2.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=105.95454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (105.95454545455) to get x
100/105.95454545455=x
0.94380094380094=x
x=0.94380094380094

now we have:
2.2 is 0.94380094380094% of 233.1
