22.25 is what percent of 29.4 - 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 29.4 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 29.4, so we can write it down as 100%=29.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.4
2) x%=22.25
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%=29.4/22.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.25 is what percent of 29.4

100%/x%=29.4/22.25
(100/x)*x=(29.4/22.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3213483146067*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3213483146067) to get x
100/1.3213483146067=x
75.680272108844=x
x=75.680272108844

now we have:
22.25 is 75.680272108844% of 29.4
