44 is what percent of 631 - 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 631 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 631, so we can write it down as 100%=631.
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%=631
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%=631/44
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 631

100%/x%=631/44
(100/x)*x=(631/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.340909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.340909090909) to get x
100/14.340909090909=x
6.973058637084=x
x=6.973058637084

now we have:
44 is 6.973058637084% of 631
