22 is what percent of 68.54 - 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 68.54 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 68.54, so we can write it down as 100%=68.54.
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%=68.54
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%=68.54/22
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 68.54

100%/x%=68.54/22
(100/x)*x=(68.54/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1154545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1154545454545) to get x
100/3.1154545454545=x
32.098044937263=x
x=32.098044937263

now we have:
22 is 32.098044937263% of 68.54
