4.44 is what percent of 35.552 - 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 35.552 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 35.552, so we can write it down as 100%=35.552.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.552
2) x%=4.44
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%=35.552/4.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.44 is what percent of 35.552

100%/x%=35.552/4.44
(100/x)*x=(35.552/4.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.0072072072072*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0072072072072) to get x
100/8.0072072072072=x
12.488748874887=x
x=12.488748874887

now we have:
4.44 is 12.488748874887% of 35.552
