2.25 is what percent of 114.82 - 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 114.82 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 114.82, so we can write it down as 100%=114.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.82
2) x%=2.25
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%=114.82/2.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.25 is what percent of 114.82

100%/x%=114.82/2.25
(100/x)*x=(114.82/2.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=51.031111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (51.031111111111) to get x
100/51.031111111111=x
1.9595889217906=x
x=1.9595889217906

now we have:
2.25 is 1.9595889217906% of 114.82
