What is 7.22 percent of 358.74 - 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 358.74 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 358.74 is 100%, so we can write it down as 358.74=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.22% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.22%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 358.74=100%
2) x=7.22%
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:
358.74/x=100%/7.22%
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 7.22% of 358.74

358.74/x=100/7.22
(358.74/x)*x=(100/7.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
358.74=13.850415512465*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.850415512465) to get x
358.74/13.850415512465=x
25.901028=x
x=25.901028

now we have:
7.22% of 358.74=25.901028
