What is 4.44 percent of 7.4 - 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 7.4 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 7.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.4=100%
2) x=4.44%
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:
7.4/x=100%/4.44%
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 4.44% of 7.4

7.4/x=100/4.44
(7.4/x)*x=(100/4.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.4=22.522522522523*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.522522522523) to get x
7.4/22.522522522523=x
0.32856=x
x=0.32856

now we have:
4.44% of 7.4=0.32856
