44 is what percent of 1543 - 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 1543 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 1543, so we can write it down as 100%=1543.
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%=1543
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%=1543/44
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 1543

100%/x%=1543/44
(100/x)*x=(1543/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.068181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.068181818182) to get x
100/35.068181818182=x
2.851587815943=x
x=2.851587815943

now we have:
44 is 2.851587815943% of 1543
