22 is what percent of 18632 - 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 18632 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 18632, so we can write it down as 100%=18632.
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%=18632
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%=18632/22
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 18632

100%/x%=18632/22
(100/x)*x=(18632/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=846.90909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (846.90909090909) to get x
100/846.90909090909=x
0.11807642765135=x
x=0.11807642765135

now we have:
22 is 0.11807642765135% of 18632
