44.33 is what percent of 45 - 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 45 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 45, so we can write it down as 100%=45.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45
2) x%=44.33
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%=45/44.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.33 is what percent of 45

100%/x%=45/44.33
(100/x)*x=(45/44.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0151139183397*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0151139183397) to get x
100/1.0151139183397=x
98.511111111111=x
x=98.511111111111

now we have:
44.33 is 98.511111111111% of 45
