44 is what percent of 4444 - 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 4444 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 4444, so we can write it down as 100%=4444.
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%=4444
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%=4444/44
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 4444

100%/x%=4444/44
(100/x)*x=(4444/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=101*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101) to get x
100/101=x
0.99009900990099=x
x=0.99009900990099

now we have:
44 is 0.99009900990099% of 4444
