44.65 is what percent of 60 - 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 60 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 60, so we can write it down as 100%=60.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60
2) x%=44.65
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%=60/44.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.65 is what percent of 60

100%/x%=60/44.65
(100/x)*x=(60/44.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3437849944009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3437849944009) to get x
100/1.3437849944009=x
74.416666666667=x
x=74.416666666667

now we have:
44.65 is 74.416666666667% of 60
