22 is what percent of 1374 - 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 1374 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 1374, so we can write it down as 100%=1374.
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%=1374
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%=1374/22
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 1374

100%/x%=1374/22
(100/x)*x=(1374/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.454545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.454545454545) to get x
100/62.454545454545=x
1.6011644832606=x
x=1.6011644832606

now we have:
22 is 1.6011644832606% of 1374
