60% of x = 22
0.60x = 22
x = 22 / 0.60
x = 36.7

so 45% of x ....when x = 36.7
0.45(36.7) =16.5 <===

Answer:

The 45% of x is 33/2.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the value of
x.

We know that 60% of x is 22, this is expressed like this


(60)/(100)x=22

Solving for x


(60)/(100)x=22\\(3)/(5)x=22\\x=(22(5))/(3)=(110)/(3)

Now, we have to find the 45% of x, which is


(45)/(100)x= (9)/(20)((110)/(3))=(33)/(2)

Therefore, the 45% of x is 33/2.
