222.2 is what percent of 1300 - 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 1300 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 1300, so we can write it down as 100%=1300.
4. We know, that x% equals 222.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=222.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1300
2) x%=222.2
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%=1300/222.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 222.2 is what percent of 1300

100%/x%=1300/222.2
(100/x)*x=(1300/222.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8505850585059*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8505850585059) to get x
100/5.8505850585059=x
17.092307692308=x
x=17.092307692308

now we have:
222.2 is 17.092307692308% of 1300
