45.83 is what percent of 2129 - 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 2129 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 2129, so we can write it down as 100%=2129.
4. We know, that x% equals 45.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2129
2) x%=45.83
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%=2129/45.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45.83 is what percent of 2129

100%/x%=2129/45.83
(100/x)*x=(2129/45.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=46.454287584552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.454287584552) to get x
100/46.454287584552=x
2.1526538280883=x
x=2.1526538280883

now we have:
45.83 is 2.1526538280883% of 2129
