What is 5 percent of 44026.27 - 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 44026.27 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 44026.27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 44026.27=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 44026.27=100%
2) x=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:
44026.27/x=100%/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 5% of 44026.27

44026.27/x=100/5
(44026.27/x)*x=(100/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
44026.27=20*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20) to get x
44026.27/20=x
2201.3135=x
x=2201.3135

now we have:
