22.65 is what percent of 1572.18 - 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 1572.18 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 1572.18, so we can write it down as 100%=1572.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1572.18
2) x%=22.65
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%=1572.18/22.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.65 is what percent of 1572.18

100%/x%=1572.18/22.65
(100/x)*x=(1572.18/22.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=69.411920529801*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.411920529801) to get x
100/69.411920529801=x
1.4406747319009=x
x=1.4406747319009

now we have:
