22.75 is what percent of 2115 - 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 2115 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 2115, so we can write it down as 100%=2115.
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%=2115
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%=2115/22.75
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 2115

100%/x%=2115/22.75
(100/x)*x=(2115/22.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=92.967032967033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (92.967032967033) to get x
100/92.967032967033=x
1.0756501182033=x
x=1.0756501182033

now we have:
22.75 is 1.0756501182033% of 2115
