22 is what percent of 1756 - 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 1756 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 1756, so we can write it down as 100%=1756.
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%=1756
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%=1756/22
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 1756

100%/x%=1756/22
(100/x)*x=(1756/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=79.818181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (79.818181818182) to get x
100/79.818181818182=x
1.25284738041=x
x=1.25284738041

now we have:
22 is 1.25284738041% of 1756
