43.76 is what percent of 45.58 - 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 45.58 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 45.58, so we can write it down as 100%=45.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45.58
2) x%=43.76
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%=45.58/43.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.76 is what percent of 45.58

100%/x%=45.58/43.76
(100/x)*x=(45.58/43.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0415904936015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0415904936015) to get x
100/1.0415904936015=x
96.00702062308=x
x=96.00702062308

now we have:
43.76 is 96.00702062308% of 45.58
