1.44 is what percent of 7.125 - 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 7.125 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 100% equals 7.125, so we can write it down as 100%=7.125.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.125
2) x%=1.44
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:
100%/x%=7.125/1.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.44 is what percent of 7.125

100%/x%=7.125/1.44
(100/x)*x=(7.125/1.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9479166666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9479166666667) to get x
100/4.9479166666667=x
20.210526315789=x
x=20.210526315789

now we have:
1.44 is 20.210526315789% of 7.125
