44.15 is what percent of 1059.36 - 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 1059.36 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 1059.36, so we can write it down as 100%=1059.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1059.36
2) x%=44.15
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%=1059.36/44.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.15 is what percent of 1059.36

100%/x%=1059.36/44.15
(100/x)*x=(1059.36/44.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.99456398641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.99456398641) to get x
100/23.99456398641=x
4.1676106328349=x
x=4.1676106328349

now we have:
44.15 is 4.1676106328349% of 1059.36
