0.09 is what percent of 0.44 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 0.44 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 0.44, so we can write it down as 100%=0.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.44
2) x%=0.09
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=0.44/0.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.09 is what percent of 0.44

100%/x%=0.44/0.09
(100/x)*x=(0.44/0.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8888888888889) to get x
100/4.8888888888889=x
20.454545454545=x
x=20.454545454545

now we have:
0.09 is 20.454545454545% of 0.44
