22.23 is what percent of 26.29 - 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 26.29 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 26.29, so we can write it down as 100%=26.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26.29
2) x%=22.23
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%=26.29/22.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.23 is what percent of 26.29

100%/x%=26.29/22.23
(100/x)*x=(26.29/22.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1826360773729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1826360773729) to get x
100/1.1826360773729=x
84.556865728414=x
x=84.556865728414

now we have:
22.23 is 84.556865728414% of 26.29
