22.45 is what percent of 17.99 - 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 17.99 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 17.99, so we can write it down as 100%=17.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.99
2) x%=22.45
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%=17.99/22.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.45 is what percent of 17.99

100%/x%=17.99/22.45
(100/x)*x=(17.99/22.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.80133630289532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80133630289532) to get x
100/0.80133630289532=x
124.79155086159=x
x=124.79155086159

now we have:
22.45 is 124.79155086159% of 17.99
