23.73 is what percent of 46.3 - 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 46.3 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 46.3, so we can write it down as 100%=46.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=46.3
2) x%=23.73
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%=46.3/23.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.73 is what percent of 46.3

100%/x%=46.3/23.73
(100/x)*x=(46.3/23.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9511167298778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9511167298778) to get x
100/1.9511167298778=x
51.252699784017=x
x=51.252699784017

now we have:
23.73 is 51.252699784017% of 46.3
