Answer:

80%

Explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 56 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 56, so we can write it down as 100%=56.

4. We know, that x% equals 44.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.8.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=56

2) x%=44.8

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%=56/44.8

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.8 is what percent of 56

100%/x%=56/44.8

(100/x)*x=(56/44.8)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.25*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x

100/1.25=x

80=x

x=80

now we have:

44.8 is 80% of 56
