79.3 is what percent of 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 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 22, so we can write it down as 100%=22.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22
2) x%=79.3
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%=22/79.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.3 is what percent of 22

100%/x%=22/79.3
(100/x)*x=(22/79.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.27742749054224*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27742749054224) to get x
100/0.27742749054224=x
360.45454545455=x
x=360.45454545455

now we have:
79.3 is 360.45454545455% of 22
