922 is what percent of 5290 - 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 5290 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 5290, so we can write it down as 100%=5290.
4. We know, that x% equals 922 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=922.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5290
2) x%=922
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%=5290/922
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 922 is what percent of 5290

100%/x%=5290/922
(100/x)*x=(5290/922)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7375271149675*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7375271149675) to get x
100/5.7375271149675=x
17.429111531191=x
x=17.429111531191

now we have:
922 is 17.429111531191% of 5290
