22.24 is what percent of 53.47 - 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 53.47 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 53.47, so we can write it down as 100%=53.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=53.47
2) x%=22.24
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%=53.47/22.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.24 is what percent of 53.47

100%/x%=53.47/22.24
(100/x)*x=(53.47/22.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.404226618705*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.404226618705) to get x
100/2.404226618705=x
41.593416869272=x
x=41.593416869272

now we have:
22.24 is 41.593416869272% of 53.47
