45.37 is what percent of 42000000 - 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 42000000 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 42000000, so we can write it down as 100%=42000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 45.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=42000000
2) x%=45.37
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%=42000000/45.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45.37 is what percent of 42000000

100%/x%=42000000/45.37
(100/x)*x=(42000000/45.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=925721.84262729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (925721.84262729) to get x
100/925721.84262729=x
0.00010802380952381=x
x=0.00010802380952381

now we have:
45.37 is 0.00010802380952381% of 42000000
