What is 13.75 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 13.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22=100%
2) x=13.75%
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%/13.75%
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 13.75% of 22

22/x=100/13.75
(22/x)*x=(100/13.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22=7.2727272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2727272727273) to get x
22/7.2727272727273=x
3.025=x
x=3.025

now we have:
13.75% of 22=3.025
