You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = total number of injections


"22 is 1% of what number of injections " translates to the equation 22=0.01x Note: 1% = 0.01


You can rewrite the equation into 22%2Fx=1%2F100 where 22 is the "part", "x" is the "whole", and 1 is the "percent".


22%2Fx=1%2F100 Start with the given equation


22=%281%2F100%29%2Ax Multiply both sides by x


22%2A100=1%2Ax Multiply both sides by 100


2200=x Multiply


So our answer is x=2200


So the "whole" is 2200 which means that there are a total of 2200 injections.
