22 is what percent of 49.95 - 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 49.95 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 49.95, so we can write it down as 100%=49.95.
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%=49.95
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%=49.95/22
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 49.95

100%/x%=49.95/22
(100/x)*x=(49.95/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2704545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2704545454545) to get x
100/2.2704545454545=x
44.044044044044=x
x=44.044044044044

now we have:
22 is 44.044044044044% of 49.95
