The number will be represented by the variable x.

Now convert the percent into a decimal by moving the % sign two places to the left and make the % sign into a decimal point.

55% = 0.55

In mathematics, 'of' can sometimes mean multiply.
Likewise, 'is' can sometimes mean equal.

0.55x = 22

Solve for x.

0.55x = 22
x = 40 <-- Divide both sides by 0.55.

So, the answer is 40.

55% = 55/100 = 0.55

22 : 0.55 = 40

Kyle has a notebook for each of his 5 classes. he puts 6 stickers on each notebook. there are 10 stickers on each street. how ma

Well if he puts 6 on each of the 5 notebooks, you'd do 5*6 and get 30. If 10 are on each sheet you'd do 30/10 & end up with 3 sheets of stickers :)
