22 is what percent of 3.96 - 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 3.96 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 3.96, so we can write it down as 100%=3.96.
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%=3.96
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%=3.96/22
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 3.96

100%/x%=3.96/22
(100/x)*x=(3.96/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.18*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.18) to get x
100/0.18=x
555.55555555556=x
x=555.55555555556

now we have:
22 is 555.55555555556% of 3.96
