1.46 is what percent of 5.244 - 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 5.244 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 5.244, so we can write it down as 100%=5.244.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.244
2) x%=1.46
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%=5.244/1.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.46 is what percent of 5.244

100%/x%=5.244/1.46
(100/x)*x=(5.244/1.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5917808219178*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5917808219178) to get x
100/3.5917808219178=x
27.841342486651=x
x=27.841342486651

now we have:
1.46 is 27.841342486651% of 5.244
