44.2 is what percent of 433.4 - 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 433.4 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 433.4, so we can write it down as 100%=433.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=433.4
2) x%=44.2
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%=433.4/44.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.2 is what percent of 433.4

100%/x%=433.4/44.2
(100/x)*x=(433.4/44.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.8054298642534*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8054298642534) to get x
100/9.8054298642534=x
10.198431010614=x
x=10.198431010614

now we have:
44.2 is 10.198431010614% of 433.4
