What is 18 percent of 444850 - 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 444850 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 444850 is 100%, so we can write it down as 444850=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 444850=100%
2) x=18%
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:
444850/x=100%/18%
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 18% of 444850

444850/x=100/18
(444850/x)*x=(100/18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
444850=5.5555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5555555555556) to get x
444850/5.5555555555556=x
80073=x
x=80073

now we have:
