44 is what percent of 2302 - 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 2302 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 2302, so we can write it down as 100%=2302.
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%=2302
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%=2302/44
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 2302

100%/x%=2302/44
(100/x)*x=(2302/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=52.318181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.318181818182) to get x
100/52.318181818182=x
1.9113814074718=x
x=1.9113814074718

now we have:
44 is 1.9113814074718% of 2302
