What is 22.1 percent of 1.09 - 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 1.09 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 1.09 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.09=100%.
4. We know, that x is 22.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=22.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.09=100%
2) x=22.1%
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:
1.09/x=100%/22.1%
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 22.1% of 1.09

1.09/x=100/22.1
(1.09/x)*x=(100/22.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.09=4.5248868778281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5248868778281) to get x
1.09/4.5248868778281=x
0.24089=x
x=0.24089

now we have:
22.1% of 1.09=0.24089
