25.01 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 25.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=44.99
2) x%=25.01
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%=44.99/25.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.01 is what percent of 44.99

100%/x%=44.99/25.01
(100/x)*x=(44.99/25.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7988804478209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7988804478209) to get x
100/1.7988804478209=x
55.590131140253=x
x=55.590131140253

now we have:
25.01 is 55.590131140253% of 44.99
