1. We assume, that the number 44 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 44, so we can write it down as 100%=44.
4. We know, that x equals 16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=44
2) x=16%
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:
16%/100%=x/44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 16% percent of 44
(16/100)=x/44
(16/100)(44)=x
(0.16)(44)=x
7.04=x
