44 is what percent of 143.7 - 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 143.7 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 143.7, so we can write it down as 100%=143.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.7
2) x%=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%=143.7/44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44 is what percent of 143.7

100%/x%=143.7/44
(100/x)*x=(143.7/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.26590909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.26590909091) to get x
100/3.26590909091=x
30.6193458594=x
x=30.6193458594

now we have:
44 is 30.6193458594% of 143.7
