A percentage can be written as a decimal. 73.5% is the same as 0.735. The percentage of a number is found by multiplying the number and its percentage. We will assign a variable to the number we are looking for which is being multiplied by 0.735.
let n equal the number that 22 is 73.5% of.
To find 'n,' just make an equation for it.
0.735n=22
Simply divide both sides by 0.735 to isolate the variable.
0.735n=22
n=29.93197279...
n is around 29.93
