44.63 is what percent of 50 - 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 50 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 50, so we can write it down as 100%=50.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50
2) x%=44.63
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%=50/44.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.63 is what percent of 50

100%/x%=50/44.63
(100/x)*x=(50/44.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.120322652924*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.120322652924) to get x
100/1.120322652924=x
89.26=x
x=89.26

now we have:
44.63 is 89.26% of 50
