22.85 is what percent of 275.3 - 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 275.3 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 275.3, so we can write it down as 100%=275.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=275.3
2) x%=22.85
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%=275.3/22.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.85 is what percent of 275.3

100%/x%=275.3/22.85
(100/x)*x=(275.3/22.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.048140043764*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.048140043764) to get x
100/12.048140043764=x
8.3000363240102=x
x=8.3000363240102

now we have:
22.85 is 8.3000363240102% of 275.3
