Question

What percent of 59 is 44.1? Round the answer to the nearest

hundredth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

133.78684807256

Explanation:

step 1: We need the assumption that 44.1 is 100% since it is our output value

step 2: We need to represent the value we seek in x

step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 44.1

step 4: In the same vein x% = 59

step 5: This give us a pair of simple equations:

100% = 44.1 (1)

x% = 59 (2)

step 6: by simplify dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS (left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

`(100)/(x) = (44.1)/(59)`

step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

`(x)/(100 ) = (59)/(44.1)`

= x = 133.78684807256

Therefore, 59 is 133.78684807256% of 44.1
