What is 44.3 percent of 21.6 - 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 21.6 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 21.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 44.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=44.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21.6=100%
2) x=44.3%
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:
21.6/x=100%/44.3%
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 44.3% of 21.6

21.6/x=100/44.3
(21.6/x)*x=(100/44.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21.6=2.2573363431151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2573363431151) to get x
21.6/2.2573363431151=x
9.5688=x
x=9.5688

now we have:
44.3% of 21.6=9.5688
