22.99 is what percent of 3495 - 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 3495 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 3495, so we can write it down as 100%=3495.
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%=3495
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%=3495/22.99
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 3495

100%/x%=3495/22.99
(100/x)*x=(3495/22.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=152.0226185298*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (152.0226185298) to get x
100/152.0226185298=x
0.65779685264664=x
x=0.65779685264664

now we have:
22.99 is 0.65779685264664% of 3495
