22.65 is what percent of 65 - 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 65 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 65, so we can write it down as 100%=65.
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%=65
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%=65/22.65
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 65

100%/x%=65/22.65
(100/x)*x=(65/22.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8697571743929*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8697571743929) to get x
100/2.8697571743929=x
34.846153846154=x
x=34.846153846154

now we have:
22.65 is 34.846153846154% of 65
