44 is what percent of 1764 - 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 1764 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 1764, so we can write it down as 100%=1764.
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%=1764
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%=1764/44
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 1764

100%/x%=1764/44
(100/x)*x=(1764/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.090909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.090909090909) to get x
100/40.090909090909=x
2.4943310657596=x
x=2.4943310657596

now we have:
44 is 2.4943310657596% of 1764
