What is 225 percent of 122 - 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 122 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 122 is 100%, so we can write it down as 122=100%.
4. We know, that x is 225% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=225%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 122=100%
2) x=225%
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:
122/x=100%/225%
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 225% of 122

122/x=100/225
(122/x)*x=(100/225)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
122=0.44444444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.44444444444444) to get x
122/0.44444444444444=x
274.5=x
x=274.5

now we have:
225% of 122=274.5
