22.02 is what percent of 60 - 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 60 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 60, so we can write it down as 100%=60.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60
2) x%=22.02
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%=60/22.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.02 is what percent of 60

100%/x%=60/22.02
(100/x)*x=(60/22.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.724795640327*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.724795640327) to get x
100/2.724795640327=x
36.7=x
x=36.7

now we have:
22.02 is 36.7% of 60
