Let the number be x.

We have to find 11% of that number.

11% of x =
(x) ((11)/(100) ) =
(11x)/(100)

Now given 11% of x is 22. So we can write the equation as,

11% of x = 22


(11x)/(100) = 22

Now to find x, we will have to move 100 to the right side. 100 is divided there. To move it we have to use reverse operation. Reverse operation of division is multiplication. So we will multiply 100 to both sides. We will get,


((11x)/(100) )(100) = (22)(100)


11x = (22)(100)


11x = 2200

To find x, we will have to move 11 to the right side. 11 is multiplied there. So we will use division. We will get,


((11x))/(11) = (2200)/(11)


x = (2200)/(11)


x = 200

We have got the required answer. The number is 200.
