256.36 is what percent of 46000000 - 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 46000000 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 46000000, so we can write it down as 100%=46000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 256.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=256.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=46000000
2) x%=256.36
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%=46000000/256.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 256.36 is what percent of 46000000

100%/x%=46000000/256.36
(100/x)*x=(46000000/256.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=179435.16929318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (179435.16929318) to get x
100/179435.16929318=x
0.00055730434782609=x
x=0.00055730434782609

now we have:
256.36 is 0.00055730434782609% of 46000000
