What is 1.6 percent of 22200 - 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 22200 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 22200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 22200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22200=100%
2) x=1.6%
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:
22200/x=100%/1.6%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.6% of 22200

22200/x=100/1.6
(22200/x)*x=(100/1.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22200=62.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.5) to get x
22200/62.5=x
355.2=x
x=355.2

now we have:
1.6% of 22200=355.2
