0.24 is what percent of 4.44 - 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 4.44 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 4.44, so we can write it down as 100%=4.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.44
2) x%=0.24
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%=4.44/0.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.24 is what percent of 4.44

100%/x%=4.44/0.24
(100/x)*x=(4.44/0.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.5) to get x
100/18.5=x
5.4054054054054=x
x=5.4054054054054

now we have:
0.24 is 5.4054054054054% of 4.44
