224.55 is what percent of 2 - 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 2 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 2, so we can write it down as 100%=2.
4. We know, that x% equals 224.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=224.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=224.55
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%=2/224.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 224.55 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/224.55
(100/x)*x=(2/224.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0089067022934758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0089067022934758) to get x
100/0.0089067022934758=x
11227.5=x
x=11227.5

now we have:
224.55 is 11227.5% of 2
