220.14 is what percent of 1340 - 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 1340 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 1340, so we can write it down as 100%=1340.
4. We know, that x% equals 220.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=220.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1340
2) x%=220.14
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%=1340/220.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 220.14 is what percent of 1340

100%/x%=1340/220.14
(100/x)*x=(1340/220.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.0870355228491*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0870355228491) to get x
100/6.0870355228491=x
16.428358208955=x
x=16.428358208955

now we have:
220.14 is 16.428358208955% of 1340
