22 is what percent of 351 - 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 351 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 351, so we can write it down as 100%=351.
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%=351
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%=351/22
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 351

100%/x%=351/22
(100/x)*x=(351/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.954545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.954545454545) to get x
100/15.954545454545=x
6.2678062678063=x
x=6.2678062678063

now we have:
22 is 6.2678062678063% of 351
