What is 68.99 percent of 44.99 - 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 44.99 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 44.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 44.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 68.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=68.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 44.99=100%
2) x=68.99%
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:
44.99/x=100%/68.99%
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 68.99% of 44.99

44.99/x=100/68.99
(44.99/x)*x=(100/68.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
44.99=1.4494854326714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4494854326714) to get x
44.99/1.4494854326714=x
31.038601=x
x=31.038601

now we have:
68.99% of 44.99=31.038601
