0.44 is what percent of 4.47 - 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 4.47 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 4.47, so we can write it down as 100%=4.47.
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%=4.47
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%=4.47/0.44
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 4.47

100%/x%=4.47/0.44
(100/x)*x=(4.47/0.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.159090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.159090909091) to get x
100/10.159090909091=x
9.8434004474273=x
x=9.8434004474273

now we have:
0.44 is 9.8434004474273% of 4.47
