8.22 is what percent of 136 - 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 136 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 136, so we can write it down as 100%=136.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136
2) x%=8.22
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%=136/8.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.22 is what percent of 136

100%/x%=136/8.22
(100/x)*x=(136/8.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.54501216545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.54501216545) to get x
100/16.54501216545=x
6.0441176470588=x
x=6.0441176470588

now we have:
8.22 is 6.0441176470588% of 136
