What is 5 percent of 43822.22 - 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 43822.22 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 43822.22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43822.22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43822.22=100%
2) x=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:
43822.22/x=100%/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 5% of 43822.22

43822.22/x=100/5
(43822.22/x)*x=(100/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43822.22=20*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20) to get x
43822.22/20=x
2191.111=x
x=2191.111

now we have:
