What is 22.72 percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 22.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=22.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9=100%
2) x=22.72%
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:
9/x=100%/22.72%
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 22.72% of 9

9/x=100/22.72
(9/x)*x=(100/22.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9=4.4014084507042*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4014084507042) to get x
9/4.4014084507042=x
2.0448=x
x=2.0448

now we have:
22.72% of 9=2.0448
