1870.75 is what percent of 4600 - 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 4600 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 4600, so we can write it down as 100%=4600.
4. We know, that x% equals 1870.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1870.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4600
2) x%=1870.75
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%=4600/1870.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1870.75 is what percent of 4600

100%/x%=4600/1870.75
(100/x)*x=(4600/1870.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4589068555392*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4589068555392) to get x
100/2.4589068555392=x
40.66847826087=x
x=40.66847826087

now we have:
1870.75 is 40.66847826087% of 4600
