44 is what percent of 906 - 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 906 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 906, so we can write it down as 100%=906.
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%=906
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%=906/44
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 906

100%/x%=906/44
(100/x)*x=(906/44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.590909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.590909090909) to get x
100/20.590909090909=x
4.8565121412804=x
x=4.8565121412804

now we have:
44 is 4.8565121412804% of 906
