22.99 is what percent of 19.94 - 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 19.94 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 19.94, so we can write it down as 100%=19.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.94
2) x%=22.99
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%=19.94/22.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.99 is what percent of 19.94

100%/x%=19.94/22.99
(100/x)*x=(19.94/22.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.86733362331448*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.86733362331448) to get x
100/0.86733362331448=x
115.29588766299=x
x=115.29588766299

now we have:
22.99 is 115.29588766299% of 19.94
