44.39 is what percent of 73.99 - 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 73.99 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 73.99, so we can write it down as 100%=73.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73.99
2) x%=44.39
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%=73.99/44.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.39 is what percent of 73.99

100%/x%=73.99/44.39
(100/x)*x=(73.99/44.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.666816850642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.666816850642) to get x
100/1.666816850642=x
59.994593864036=x
x=59.994593864036

now we have:
44.39 is 59.994593864036% of 73.99
