Answer:

119.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 369 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=36​.

Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 440​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:100%=369(1) 440(2) = x%

Step 6: By simply 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% = 369/440

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields x%/100% = 440/369

Therefore, 440​ is 119.24% of 369.
