17.41 is what percent of 44.722 - 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 44.722 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 44.722, so we can write it down as 100%=44.722.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=44.722
2) x%=17.41
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%=44.722/17.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.41 is what percent of 44.722

100%/x%=44.722/17.41
(100/x)*x=(44.722/17.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5687535898909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5687535898909) to get x
100/2.5687535898909=x
38.929385984527=x
x=38.929385984527

now we have:
