48.44 is what percent of 4550 - 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 4550 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 4550, so we can write it down as 100%=4550.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4550
2) x%=48.44
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%=4550/48.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.44 is what percent of 4550

100%/x%=4550/48.44
(100/x)*x=(4550/48.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=93.93063583815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (93.93063583815) to get x
100/93.93063583815=x
1.0646153846154=x
x=1.0646153846154

now we have:
48.44 is 1.0646153846154% of 4550
