44 is what percent of 3881 - 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 3881 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 3881, so we can write it down as 100%=3881.
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%=3881
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%=3881/44
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 3881

100%/x%=3881/44
(100/x)*x=(3881/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=88.204545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (88.204545454545) to get x
100/88.204545454545=x
1.1337284205102=x
x=1.1337284205102

now we have:
44 is 1.1337284205102% of 3881
