22 is what percent of 5030 - 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 5030 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 5030, so we can write it down as 100%=5030.
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%=5030
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%=5030/22
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 5030

100%/x%=5030/22
(100/x)*x=(5030/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=228.63636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (228.63636363636) to get x
100/228.63636363636=x
0.43737574552684=x
x=0.43737574552684

now we have:
22 is 0.43737574552684% of 5030
