22 is what percent of 7125 - 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 7125 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 7125, so we can write it down as 100%=7125.
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%=7125
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%=7125/22
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 7125

100%/x%=7125/22
(100/x)*x=(7125/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=323.86363636364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (323.86363636364) to get x
100/323.86363636364=x
0.30877192982456=x
x=0.30877192982456

now we have:
22 is 0.30877192982456% of 7125
