1.44 is what percent of 10.44 - 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 10.44 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 10.44, so we can write it down as 100%=10.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.44
2) x%=1.44
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%=10.44/1.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.44 is what percent of 10.44

100%/x%=10.44/1.44
(100/x)*x=(10.44/1.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.25) to get x
100/7.25=x
13.793103448276=x
x=13.793103448276

now we have:
1.44 is 13.793103448276% of 10.44
