44.4 is what percent of 330.4 - 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 330.4 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 330.4, so we can write it down as 100%=330.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=330.4
2) x%=44.4
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%=330.4/44.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.4 is what percent of 330.4

100%/x%=330.4/44.4
(100/x)*x=(330.4/44.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4414414414414*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4414414414414) to get x
100/7.4414414414414=x
13.438256658596=x
x=13.438256658596

now we have:
44.4 is 13.438256658596% of 330.4
