37 is what percent of 10.44 - 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 10.44 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 10.44, so we can write it down as 100%=10.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.44
2) x%=37
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%=10.44/37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37 is what percent of 10.44

100%/x%=10.44/37
(100/x)*x=(10.44/37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.28216216216216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28216216216216) to get x
100/0.28216216216216=x
354.4061302682=x
x=354.4061302682

now we have:
37 is 354.4061302682% of 10.44
