0.57 is what percent of 4.4 - 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 4.4 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 4.4, so we can write it down as 100%=4.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.4
2) x%=0.57
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%=4.4/0.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.57 is what percent of 4.4

100%/x%=4.4/0.57
(100/x)*x=(4.4/0.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.719298245614*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.719298245614) to get x
100/7.719298245614=x
12.954545454545=x
x=12.954545454545

now we have:
0.57 is 12.954545454545% of 4.4
