Answer: 181.82
Explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 22 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=22.
Step 4: In the same vein, x%=40.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100%=22(1).
x%=40(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the left hand side of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100 percent/X percent = 22/40
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
100 percent/X percent = 40/22
X = 181.82%
Therefore, 40 is 181.82% of 22.
