5.99 is what percent of 22.05 - 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 22.05 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 22.05, so we can write it down as 100%=22.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.05
2) x%=5.99
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%=22.05/5.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.99 is what percent of 22.05

100%/x%=22.05/5.99
(100/x)*x=(22.05/5.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6811352253756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6811352253756) to get x
100/3.6811352253756=x
27.165532879819=x
x=27.165532879819

now we have:
5.99 is 27.165532879819% of 22.05
