444.38 is what percent of 1515 - 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 1515 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 1515, so we can write it down as 100%=1515.
4. We know, that x% equals 444.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=444.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1515
2) x%=444.38
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%=1515/444.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 444.38 is what percent of 1515

100%/x%=1515/444.38
(100/x)*x=(1515/444.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4092443404294*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4092443404294) to get x
100/3.4092443404294=x
29.33201320132=x
x=29.33201320132

now we have:
444.38 is 29.33201320132% of 1515
