22 is what percent of 1418 - 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 1418 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 1418, so we can write it down as 100%=1418.
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%=1418
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%=1418/22
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 1418

100%/x%=1418/22
(100/x)*x=(1418/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=64.454545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (64.454545454545) to get x
100/64.454545454545=x
1.5514809590973=x
x=1.5514809590973

now we have:
22 is 1.5514809590973% of 1418
