689.48 is what percent of 22000 - 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 22000 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 22000, so we can write it down as 100%=22000.
4. We know, that x% equals 689.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=689.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22000
2) x%=689.48
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%=22000/689.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 689.48 is what percent of 22000

100%/x%=22000/689.48
(100/x)*x=(22000/689.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.908104658583*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.908104658583) to get x
100/31.908104658583=x
3.134=x
x=3.134

now we have:
689.48 is 3.134% of 22000
