268.32 is what percent of 1122 - 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 1122 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 1122, so we can write it down as 100%=1122.
4. We know, that x% equals 268.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=268.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1122
2) x%=268.32
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%=1122/268.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 268.32 is what percent of 1122

100%/x%=1122/268.32
(100/x)*x=(1122/268.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1815742397138*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1815742397138) to get x
100/4.1815742397138=x
23.914438502674=x
x=23.914438502674

now we have:
268.32 is 23.914438502674% of 1122
