44 is the part.
80 is the whole.
[tex] \frac{44}{80} =\frac{x}{100}[/tex]
We need to cross multiply, which is: a/b = c/d ⇒ ad=bc
After cross multiplying, we get:
[tex]44 \times 100 = 80 \times x\\\\4400 = 80x\\\\\sf{Divide ~80~ on~ both~ sides}\\\\\frac{80x}{80} =\frac{4400}{80}\\\\x =\frac{4400}{80} \\\\\boxed{\bf{52.3809524\approx 52.38}}[/tex]
