4.48 is what percent of 13.99 - 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 13.99 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 100% equals 13.99, so we can write it down as 100%=13.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.99
2) x%=4.48
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%=13.99/4.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.48 is what percent of 13.99

100%/x%=13.99/4.48
(100/x)*x=(13.99/4.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1227678571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1227678571429) to get x
100/3.1227678571429=x
32.022873481058=x
x=32.022873481058

now we have:
4.48 is 32.022873481058% of 13.99
