36.06 is what percent of 1446 - 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 1446 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 1446, so we can write it down as 100%=1446.
4. We know, that x% equals 36.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1446
2) x%=36.06
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%=1446/36.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36.06 is what percent of 1446

100%/x%=1446/36.06
(100/x)*x=(1446/36.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.099833610649*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.099833610649) to get x
100/40.099833610649=x
2.49377593361=x
x=2.49377593361

now we have:
36.06 is 2.49377593361% of 1446
