Let’s start by defining the variable x as the unknown number we want to find.
From the first sentence of the problem, we can set up an equation:
220% of x = 44
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can start by dividing both sides by 220% (or 2.2 as a decimal):
x = 44 ÷ 2.2
x = 20
Now that we know x = 20, we can answer the second part of the question. We want to find 44% of x, so we can set up another equation:
44% of x = 0.44 * x
Substituting x = 20 into the equation, we get:
44% of 20 = 0.44 * 20 = 8.8
Therefore, 44% of x is equal to 8.8 when x is 20.
