44.5 is what percent of 385430 - 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 385430 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 385430, so we can write it down as 100%=385430.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=385430
2) x%=44.5
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%=385430/44.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.5 is what percent of 385430

100%/x%=385430/44.5
(100/x)*x=(385430/44.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8661.3483146067*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8661.3483146067) to get x
100/8661.3483146067=x
0.011545546532444=x
x=0.011545546532444

now we have:
