8 is what percent of 44814 - 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 44814 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 44814, so we can write it down as 100%=44814.
4. We know, that x% equals 8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=44814
2) x%=8
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%=44814/8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8 is what percent of 44814

100%/x%=44814/8
(100/x)*x=(44814/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5601.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5601.75) to get x
100/5601.75=x
0.017851564243317=x
x=0.017851564243317

now we have:
8 is 0.017851564243317% of 44814
