What is 44.38 percent of 2.88 - 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 2.88 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 2.88 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.88=100%.
4. We know, that x is 44.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=44.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.88=100%
2) x=44.38%
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:
2.88/x=100%/44.38%
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 44.38% of 2.88

2.88/x=100/44.38
(2.88/x)*x=(100/44.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.88=2.2532672374944*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2532672374944) to get x
2.88/2.2532672374944=x
1.278144=x
x=1.278144

now we have:
44.38% of 2.88=1.278144
