22 is what percent of 555555 - 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 555555 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 555555, so we can write it down as 100%=555555.
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%=555555
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%=555555/22
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 555555

100%/x%=555555/22
(100/x)*x=(555555/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25252.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25252.5) to get x
100/25252.5=x
0.003960003960004=x
x=0.003960003960004

now we have:
