44.41 is what percent of 59 - 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 59 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 59, so we can write it down as 100%=59.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59
2) x%=44.41
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%=59/44.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.41 is what percent of 59

100%/x%=59/44.41
(100/x)*x=(59/44.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3285296104481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3285296104481) to get x
100/1.3285296104481=x
75.271186440678=x
x=75.271186440678

now we have:
44.41 is 75.271186440678% of 59
