0.44 is what percent of 21.82 - 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 21.82 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 21.82, so we can write it down as 100%=21.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.82
2) x%=0.44
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%=21.82/0.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.44 is what percent of 21.82

100%/x%=21.82/0.44
(100/x)*x=(21.82/0.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.590909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.590909090909) to get x
100/49.590909090909=x
2.0164986251146=x
x=2.0164986251146

now we have:
0.44 is 2.0164986251146% of 21.82
