3.44 is what percent of 22.48 - 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 22.48 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 22.48, so we can write it down as 100%=22.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.48
2) x%=3.44
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%=22.48/3.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.44 is what percent of 22.48

100%/x%=22.48/3.44
(100/x)*x=(22.48/3.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5348837209302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5348837209302) to get x
100/6.5348837209302=x
15.302491103203=x
x=15.302491103203

now we have:
3.44 is 15.302491103203% of 22.48
