0.44 is what percent of 29.58 - 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 29.58 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 29.58, so we can write it down as 100%=29.58.
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%=29.58
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%=29.58/0.44
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 29.58

100%/x%=29.58/0.44
(100/x)*x=(29.58/0.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.227272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.227272727273) to get x
100/67.227272727273=x
1.4874915483435=x
x=1.4874915483435

now we have:
0.44 is 1.4874915483435% of 29.58
