1.44 is what percent of 72.08 - 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 72.08 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 72.08, so we can write it down as 100%=72.08.
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%=72.08
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%=72.08/1.44
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 72.08

100%/x%=72.08/1.44
(100/x)*x=(72.08/1.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.055555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.055555555556) to get x
100/50.055555555556=x
1.9977802441731=x
x=1.9977802441731

now we have:
1.44 is 1.9977802441731% of 72.08
