22.89 is what percent of 24.55 - 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 24.55 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 24.55, so we can write it down as 100%=24.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.55
2) x%=22.89
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%=24.55/22.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.89 is what percent of 24.55

100%/x%=24.55/22.89
(100/x)*x=(24.55/22.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0725207514198*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0725207514198) to get x
100/1.0725207514198=x
93.238289205703=x
x=93.238289205703

now we have:
22.89 is 93.238289205703% of 24.55
