22 is what percent of 4003 - 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 4003 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 4003, so we can write it down as 100%=4003.
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%=4003
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%=4003/22
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 4003

100%/x%=4003/22
(100/x)*x=(4003/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=181.95454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (181.95454545455) to get x
100/181.95454545455=x
0.54958780914314=x
x=0.54958780914314

now we have:
22 is 0.54958780914314% of 4003
