22.26 is what percent of 1.378 - 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 1.378 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 1.378, so we can write it down as 100%=1.378.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.378
2) x%=22.26
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%=1.378/22.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.26 is what percent of 1.378

100%/x%=1.378/22.26
(100/x)*x=(1.378/22.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.061904761904762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.061904761904762) to get x
100/0.061904761904762=x
1615.3846153846=x
x=1615.3846153846

now we have:
22.26 is 1615.3846153846% of 1.378
