Question: I’m trying to calculate what percentage is 22 out of 30. How do I do that?

MathBlog: A percent tells us how many parts out of 100 something is. To write a percent as a fraction, just remove the percent symbol and write the number over 100 as the denominator. Below we explain what is 22 out of 30 in percentage, and how you calculate it.

What is 22/30 in percentage?

Answer: 22 is 73.33% out of 30.

We have two methods to figure out what is 22/30 in percent, with steps for easy understanding.

Method 1: Long division with remainder

Calculate \( 22:30 \)

  1. 30 enters into 22, 0 times, remainder 22
    Result (ongoing) = 0.
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 220. Now calculate 220 : 30
  2. 30 enters into 220, 7 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.7
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  3. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.73
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  4. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.733
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  5. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.7333
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  6. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.73333
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  7. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.733333
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  8. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.7333333
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  9. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.73333333
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30
  10. 30 enters into 100, 3 times, remainder 10
    Result (ongoing) = 0.733333333
    Multiply the remainder by 10 to get 100. Now calculate 100 : 30

Now you multiply the reults by 100 \( (0.733333333 \times 100 = 73.333333333333 ) \) and you get 73.333333333333%.

Solution: 22 out of 30 equals 73.333333333333%.

Method 2: Using fractions

Calculate \( P(\text{%}) = \frac{ 22 }{ 30 } \times 100 \)

  1. We need to get the fraction to be of the type \( \frac{ P }{ 100 } \times 100 \)

  2. In our case we need \( \frac { 22 \times x }{ 30 \times x } \times 100 \)

    That means \( 30 \times x = 100 \)

    \( x = \frac{100}{ 30 } = 3.3333333333333 \)

  3. Our fraction is now \( \frac { 22 \times 3.3333333333333 }{ 30 \times 3.3333333333333 } \times 100 \)

  4. We know that the denominator \( 30 \times 3.3333333333333 = 100 \) so we construct the fraction again.

    \( P = \frac { 22 \times 3.3333333333333 }{100} \times 100 \)
    \(= 22 \times 3.3333333333333 \)

  5. Since \( 22 \times 3.3333333333333 = 73.333333333333 \), we have our result
    \( P = 73.333333333333 \).

Solution: 22 out of 30 equals 73.333333333333%.
