20.7 is what percent of 2.2 - 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 2.2 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 2.2, so we can write it down as 100%=2.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.2
2) x%=20.7
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%=2.2/20.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.7 is what percent of 2.2

100%/x%=2.2/20.7
(100/x)*x=(2.2/20.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.10628019323671*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10628019323671) to get x
100/0.10628019323671=x
940.90909090909=x
x=940.90909090909

now we have:
20.7 is 940.90909090909% of 2.2
