2.44 is what percent of 2.75 - 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 2.75 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 2.75, so we can write it down as 100%=2.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.75
2) x%=2.44
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%=2.75/2.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.44 is what percent of 2.75

100%/x%=2.75/2.44
(100/x)*x=(2.75/2.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1270491803279*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1270491803279) to get x
100/1.1270491803279=x
88.727272727273=x
x=88.727272727273

now we have:
2.44 is 88.727272727273% of 2.75
