22.5 is what percent of 113.1 - 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 113.1 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 113.1, so we can write it down as 100%=113.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=113.1
2) x%=22.5
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%=113.1/22.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.5 is what percent of 113.1

100%/x%=113.1/22.5
(100/x)*x=(113.1/22.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0266666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0266666666667) to get x
100/5.0266666666667=x
19.893899204244=x
x=19.893899204244

now we have:
22.5 is 19.893899204244% of 113.1
