440.11 is what percent of 2500 - 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 2500 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 2500, so we can write it down as 100%=2500.
4. We know, that x% equals 440.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=440.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2500
2) x%=440.11
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%=2500/440.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 440.11 is what percent of 2500

100%/x%=2500/440.11
(100/x)*x=(2500/440.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6803980822976*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6803980822976) to get x
100/5.6803980822976=x
17.6044=x
x=17.6044

now we have:
440.11 is 17.6044% of 2500
