6.22 is what percent of 429 - 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 429 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 429, so we can write it down as 100%=429.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=429
2) x%=6.22
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%=429/6.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.22 is what percent of 429

100%/x%=429/6.22
(100/x)*x=(429/6.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.971061093248*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.971061093248) to get x
100/68.971061093248=x
1.4498834498834=x
x=1.4498834498834

now we have:
6.22 is 1.4498834498834% of 429
