0.45 is what percent of 10.46 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 10.46 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 10.46, so we can write it down as 100%=10.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.46
2) x%=0.45
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%=10.46/0.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.45 is what percent of 10.46

100%/x%=10.46/0.45
(100/x)*x=(10.46/0.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.244444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.244444444444) to get x
100/23.244444444444=x
4.302103250478=x
x=4.302103250478

now we have:
0.45 is 4.302103250478% of 10.46
