22.47 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=22.47
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%=1500/22.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.47 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/22.47
(100/x)*x=(1500/22.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.75567423231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.75567423231) to get x
100/66.75567423231=x
1.498=x
x=1.498

now we have:
22.47 is 1.498% of 1500
