What is 44.45 percent of 131 - 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 131 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 131 is 100%, so we can write it down as 131=100%.
4. We know, that x is 44.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=44.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 131=100%
2) x=44.45%
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:
131/x=100%/44.45%
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 44.45% of 131

131/x=100/44.45
(131/x)*x=(100/44.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
131=2.2497187851519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2497187851519) to get x
131/2.2497187851519=x
58.2295=x
x=58.2295

now we have:
44.45% of 131=58.2295
