28.02 is what percent of 331.22 - 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 331.22 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 331.22, so we can write it down as 100%=331.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=331.22
2) x%=28.02
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%=331.22/28.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.02 is what percent of 331.22

100%/x%=331.22/28.02
(100/x)*x=(331.22/28.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.820842255532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.820842255532) to get x
100/11.820842255532=x
8.4596340800676=x
x=8.4596340800676

now we have:
28.02 is 8.4596340800676% of 331.22
