1046.89 is what percent of 3917 - 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 3917 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 3917, so we can write it down as 100%=3917.
4. We know, that x% equals 1046.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1046.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3917
2) x%=1046.89
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%=3917/1046.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1046.89 is what percent of 3917

100%/x%=3917/1046.89
(100/x)*x=(3917/1046.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7415583299105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7415583299105) to get x
100/3.7415583299105=x
26.726831758999=x
x=26.726831758999

now we have:
