2.26 is what percent of 9.02 - 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 9.02 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 9.02, so we can write it down as 100%=9.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.02
2) x%=2.26
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%=9.02/2.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.26 is what percent of 9.02

100%/x%=9.02/2.26
(100/x)*x=(9.02/2.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9911504424779*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9911504424779) to get x
100/3.9911504424779=x
25.055432372506=x
x=25.055432372506

now we have:
2.26 is 25.055432372506% of 9.02
