15.37 is what percent of 44.99 - 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 44.99 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 44.99, so we can write it down as 100%=44.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=44.99
2) x%=15.37
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%=44.99/15.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.37 is what percent of 44.99

100%/x%=44.99/15.37
(100/x)*x=(44.99/15.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9271307742355*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9271307742355) to get x
100/2.9271307742355=x
34.163147366081=x
x=34.163147366081

now we have:
15.37 is 34.163147366081% of 44.99
