5.44 is what percent of 14.56 - 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 14.56 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 14.56, so we can write it down as 100%=14.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.56
2) x%=5.44
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%=14.56/5.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.44 is what percent of 14.56

100%/x%=14.56/5.44
(100/x)*x=(14.56/5.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6764705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6764705882353) to get x
100/2.6764705882353=x
37.362637362637=x
x=37.362637362637

now we have:
5.44 is 37.362637362637% of 14.56
