22.3 is what percent of 650 - 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 650 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 650, so we can write it down as 100%=650.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=650
2) x%=22.3
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%=650/22.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.3 is what percent of 650

100%/x%=650/22.3
(100/x)*x=(650/22.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.14798206278*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.14798206278) to get x
100/29.14798206278=x
3.4307692307692=x
x=3.4307692307692

now we have:
22.3 is 3.4307692307692% of 650
