Step-by-step explanation

1. Convert percentages into fractions or decimals

For fraction: divide 44 by 100 and remove the % sign.
$44 % = \frac{44}{100}$

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.
$44 % = 0.44$

2. Multiply the decimal or fraction by the quantity that equals 100%

$100 % = 489$
$\frac{44}{100} \cdot 489 = 0.44 \cdot 489 = 215.16$

44% of 489 is 215.16
