45.83 is what percent of 47 - 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 47 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 47, so we can write it down as 100%=47.
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%=47
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%=47/45.83
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 47

100%/x%=47/45.83
(100/x)*x=(47/45.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0255291293912*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0255291293912) to get x
100/1.0255291293912=x
97.510638297872=x
x=97.510638297872

now we have:
45.83 is 97.510638297872% of 47
