Percent * Whole = Part
0.22 * x = 44
divide 0.22 on both sides
x = 44/0.22
x = 200

Hey there!

To start, set up this equation:
0.22x=44

The decimal 0.22 represents the percent as a decimal and let x represent the whole or the number you are trying to solve for.

Now, divide both sides by 0.22 to solve for x and you will get x=200

Therefore, 200 would be your answer.

Hope this helps!
