What is 1.44 percent of 122.798 - 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 122.798 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 122.798 is 100%, so we can write it down as 122.798=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 122.798=100%
2) x=1.44%
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:
122.798/x=100%/1.44%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.44% of 122.798

122.798/x=100/1.44
