22 is what percent of 165000 - 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 165000 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 165000, so we can write it down as 100%=165000.
4. We know, that x% equals 22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=165000
2) x%=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%=165000/22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22 is what percent of 165000

100%/x%=165000/22
(100/x)*x=(165000/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7500*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7500) to get x
100/7500=x
0.013333333333333=x
x=0.013333333333333

now we have:
22 is 0.013333333333333% of 165000
