What is 44.5 percent of 1100 - 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 1100 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 1100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 44.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=44.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1100=100%
2) x=44.5%
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:
1100/x=100%/44.5%
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 44.5% of 1100

1100/x=100/44.5
(1100/x)*x=(100/44.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1100=2.247191011236*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.247191011236) to get x
1100/2.247191011236=x
489.5=x
x=489.5

now we have:
44.5% of 1100=489.5
