22.75 is what percent of 30 - 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 30 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 30, so we can write it down as 100%=30.
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%=30
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%=30/22.75
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 30

100%/x%=30/22.75
(100/x)*x=(30/22.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3186813186813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3186813186813) to get x
100/1.3186813186813=x
75.833333333333=x
x=75.833333333333

now we have:
22.75 is 75.833333333333% of 30
