22.75 is what percent of 13.24 - 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 13.24 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 13.24, so we can write it down as 100%=13.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.24
2) x%=22.75
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%=13.24/22.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.75 is what percent of 13.24

100%/x%=13.24/22.75
(100/x)*x=(13.24/22.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.58197802197802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.58197802197802) to get x
100/0.58197802197802=x
171.82779456193=x
x=171.82779456193

now we have:
22.75 is 171.82779456193% of 13.24
