1 is what percent of 406.36 - 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 406.36 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 406.36, so we can write it down as 100%=406.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=406.36
2) x%=1
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%=406.36/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 406.36

100%/x%=406.36/1
(100/x)*x=(406.36/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=406.36*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (406.36) to get x
100/406.36=x
0.2460872133084=x
x=0.2460872133084

now we have:
1 is 0.2460872133084% of 406.36
