159.74 is what percent of 4400 - 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 4400 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 4400, so we can write it down as 100%=4400.
4. We know, that x% equals 159.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=159.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4400
2) x%=159.74
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%=4400/159.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 159.74 is what percent of 4400

100%/x%=4400/159.74
(100/x)*x=(4400/159.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.544760235382*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.544760235382) to get x
100/27.544760235382=x
3.6304545454545=x
x=3.6304545454545

now we have:
159.74 is 3.6304545454545% of 4400
