3.02 is what percent of 4.6 - 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 4.6 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 4.6, so we can write it down as 100%=4.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.6
2) x%=3.02
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%=4.6/3.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.02 is what percent of 4.6

100%/x%=4.6/3.02
(100/x)*x=(4.6/3.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.523178807947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.523178807947) to get x
100/1.523178807947=x
65.652173913043=x
x=65.652173913043

now we have:
3.02 is 65.652173913043% of 4.6
