35 is what percent of 444 - 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 444 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 444, so we can write it down as 100%=444.
4. We know, that x% equals 35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=444
2) x%=35
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%=444/35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35 is what percent of 444

100%/x%=444/35
(100/x)*x=(444/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.685714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.685714285714) to get x
100/12.685714285714=x
7.8828828828829=x
x=7.8828828828829

now we have:
35 is 7.8828828828829% of 444
