What is 12.25 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 22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22=100%
2) x=12.25%
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:
22/x=100%/12.25%
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 12.25% of 22

22/x=100/12.25
(22/x)*x=(100/12.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22=8.1632653061224*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1632653061224) to get x
22/8.1632653061224=x
2.695=x
x=2.695

now we have:
12.25% of 22=2.695
