Question

If $60\%$ of $x$ is $22$, then what is $45\%$ of $x$?

Answer 1

For this case we are told that 60% of a number "x" is 22. Then, to find the number we make a rule of three:

x --------------> 100%

22 ------------> 60%

$x = \frac {22 * 100} {60}\\x = 36.67$

Now, we find 45% of the number "x" found:

36.67 --------> 100%

y ---------------> 45%

Where "y" represents the number that is 45% of x.

$y = \frac {45 * 36.67} {100}\\y = 16.50$

So, 15.50 is 45% of x

Answer:

$x = 36.67$

16.50 is 45% of x
