4.4 is what percent of 164.4 - 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 164.4 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 164.4, so we can write it down as 100%=164.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=164.4
2) x%=4.4
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%=164.4/4.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.4 is what percent of 164.4

100%/x%=164.4/4.4
(100/x)*x=(164.4/4.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.363636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.363636363636) to get x
100/37.363636363636=x
2.676399026764=x
x=2.676399026764

now we have:
4.4 is 2.676399026764% of 164.4
