9.22 is what percent of 60 - 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 60 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 60, so we can write it down as 100%=60.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60
2) x%=9.22
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%=60/9.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.22 is what percent of 60

100%/x%=60/9.22
(100/x)*x=(60/9.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5075921908894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5075921908894) to get x
100/6.5075921908894=x
15.366666666667=x
x=15.366666666667

now we have:
9.22 is 15.366666666667% of 60
