4.6 is what percent of 1031 - 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 1031 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 1031, so we can write it down as 100%=1031.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1031
2) x%=4.6
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%=1031/4.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.6 is what percent of 1031

100%/x%=1031/4.6
(100/x)*x=(1031/4.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=224.13043478261*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (224.13043478261) to get x
100/224.13043478261=x
0.44616876818623=x
x=0.44616876818623

now we have:
4.6 is 0.44616876818623% of 1031
