70.5 is what percent of 444 - 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 444 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 444, so we can write it down as 100%=444.
4. We know, that x% equals 70.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=70.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=444
2) x%=70.5
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%=444/70.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 70.5 is what percent of 444

100%/x%=444/70.5
(100/x)*x=(444/70.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.2978723404255*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.2978723404255) to get x
100/6.2978723404255=x
15.878378378378=x
x=15.878378378378

now we have:
70.5 is 15.878378378378% of 444
