0.22 is what percent of 2488.3 - 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 2488.3 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 100% equals 2488.3, so we can write it down as 100%=2488.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2488.3
2) x%=0.22
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:
100%/x%=2488.3/0.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.22 is what percent of 2488.3

100%/x%=2488.3/0.22
(100/x)*x=(2488.3/0.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11310.454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11310.454545455) to get x
100/11310.454545455=x
0.0088413776473898=x
x=0.0088413776473898

now we have:
0.22 is 0.0088413776473898% of 2488.3
