What is 22.5 percent of 95.7 - 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 95.7 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 95.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 95.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 22.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=22.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 95.7=100%
2) x=22.5%
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:
95.7/x=100%/22.5%
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 22.5% of 95.7

95.7/x=100/22.5
(95.7/x)*x=(100/22.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
95.7=4.4444444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4444444444444) to get x
95.7/4.4444444444444=x
21.5325=x
x=21.5325

now we have:
22.5% of 95.7=21.5325
