44 is what percent of 705 - 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 705 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 705, so we can write it down as 100%=705.
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%=705
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%=705/44
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 705

100%/x%=705/44
(100/x)*x=(705/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.022727272727*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.022727272727) to get x
100/16.022727272727=x
6.241134751773=x
x=6.241134751773

now we have:
44 is 6.241134751773% of 705
