22.82 is what percent of 197.92 - 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 197.92 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 197.92, so we can write it down as 100%=197.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=197.92
2) x%=22.82
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%=197.92/22.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.82 is what percent of 197.92

100%/x%=197.92/22.82
(100/x)*x=(197.92/22.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.6730937773883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.6730937773883) to get x
100/8.6730937773883=x
11.529911075182=x
x=11.529911075182

now we have:
