7.22 is what percent of 12.04 - 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 12.04 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 12.04, so we can write it down as 100%=12.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.04
2) x%=7.22
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%=12.04/7.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.22 is what percent of 12.04

100%/x%=12.04/7.22
(100/x)*x=(12.04/7.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6675900277008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6675900277008) to get x
100/1.6675900277008=x
59.966777408638=x
x=59.966777408638

now we have:
7.22 is 59.966777408638% of 12.04
