20.44 is what percent of 3383.53 - 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 3383.53 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 3383.53, so we can write it down as 100%=3383.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3383.53
2) x%=20.44
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%=3383.53/20.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.44 is what percent of 3383.53

100%/x%=3383.53/20.44
(100/x)*x=(3383.53/20.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=165.53473581213*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (165.53473581213) to get x
100/165.53473581213=x
0.6041028156984=x
x=0.6041028156984

now we have:
