3.19 is what percent of 12.44 - 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 12.44 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 12.44, so we can write it down as 100%=12.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.44
2) x%=3.19
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%=12.44/3.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.19 is what percent of 12.44

100%/x%=12.44/3.19
(100/x)*x=(12.44/3.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8996865203762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8996865203762) to get x
100/3.8996865203762=x
25.64308681672=x
x=25.64308681672

now we have:
3.19 is 25.64308681672% of 12.44
