22 is what percent of 129.22 - 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 129.22 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 129.22, so we can write it down as 100%=129.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=129.22
2) x%=22
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%=129.22/22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22 is what percent of 129.22

100%/x%=129.22/22
(100/x)*x=(129.22/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8736363636364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8736363636364) to get x
100/5.8736363636364=x
17.025228292834=x
x=17.025228292834

now we have:
22 is 17.025228292834% of 129.22
