4.4 is what percent of 7.04 - 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 7.04 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 7.04, so we can write it down as 100%=7.04.
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%=7.04
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%=7.04/4.4
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 7.04

100%/x%=7.04/4.4
(100/x)*x=(7.04/4.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6) to get x
100/1.6=x
62.5=x
x=62.5

now we have:
4.4 is 62.5% of 7.04
