What is 95.5 percent of 220 - 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 220 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 220 is 100%, so we can write it down as 220=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 220=100%
2) x=95.5%
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:
220/x=100%/95.5%
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 95.5% of 220

220/x=100/95.5
(220/x)*x=(100/95.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
220=1.0471204188482*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0471204188482) to get x
220/1.0471204188482=x
210.1=x
x=210.1

now we have:
95.5% of 220=210.1
