22.25 is what percent of 795.25 - 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 795.25 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 795.25, so we can write it down as 100%=795.25.
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%=795.25
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%=795.25/22.25
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 795.25

100%/x%=795.25/22.25
(100/x)*x=(795.25/22.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.741573033708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.741573033708) to get x
100/35.741573033708=x
2.7978623074505=x
x=2.7978623074505

now we have:
