We are asked to identify and set up a proportion that will solve 22% of 50. One condition is we need to apply cross multiply. To solve this problem, we need to use x as the numerator of 50 and we need to apply 100 as the denominator of 22 since it is in % such as the solution is shown below:
x / 50 = 22 % / 100 , cross multiply 50 to the opposite side such as only x will be remaining
x = (50 * 22) / 100
x = 11

The answer is 11 by cross multiply method.
