44 is what percent of 26338 - 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 26338 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 26338, so we can write it down as 100%=26338.
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%=26338
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%=26338/44
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 26338

100%/x%=26338/44
(100/x)*x=(26338/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=598.59090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (598.59090909091) to get x
100/598.59090909091=x
0.16705900220214=x
x=0.16705900220214

now we have:
44 is 0.16705900220214% of 26338
