Answer:

Percent ≈ 13.64

Explanation:

The formula to get a percent in terms of base, percent, and amount is:

Percent = (Amount / Base) * 100

Therefore, we can plug the 22 as the Base, and the 3 as Amount and we will get the following:

Percent = (3 / 22) * 100

Solve the equation, and the value should be come out as

13.6363636...

which can be rounded as

13.64

The second part of the question is asking if we are solving for base, percent, or amount and we know that it is Percent, because it is the independent variable which we are solving for.
