444.85 is what percent of 15550 - 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 15550 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 15550, so we can write it down as 100%=15550.
4. We know, that x% equals 444.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=444.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15550
2) x%=444.85
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%=15550/444.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 444.85 is what percent of 15550

100%/x%=15550/444.85
(100/x)*x=(15550/444.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.955603012251*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.955603012251) to get x
100/34.955603012251=x
2.8607717041801=x
x=2.8607717041801

now we have:
444.85 is 2.8607717041801% of 15550
