What is 44.99 percent of 23.99 - 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 23.99 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 23.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 44.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=44.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23.99=100%
2) x=44.99%
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:
23.99/x=100%/44.99%
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 44.99% of 23.99

23.99/x=100/44.99
(23.99/x)*x=(100/44.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23.99=2.2227161591465*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2227161591465) to get x
23.99/2.2227161591465=x
10.793101=x
x=10.793101

now we have:
44.99% of 23.99=10.793101
