88*.22=19
Answer by kiru_khandelwal(79)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let 88 be 22% of x
Now 22% of x = (22/100)*x
=> 88 = (22/100)*x
=> 88 = 22x/100
=> 8800 = 22x
=> x = 8800/22 = 400
So 88 is 22% of 400...:-)

88 is 22% of the number 400. This can be found out by dividing 88 by .22 to get 400.
Remember to check: .22 times 400 equals 88.
