46 is what percent of 2056 - 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 2056 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 2056, so we can write it down as 100%=2056.
4. We know, that x% equals 46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2056
2) x%=46
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%=2056/46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46 is what percent of 2056

100%/x%=2056/46
(100/x)*x=(2056/46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.695652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.695652173913) to get x
100/44.695652173913=x
2.2373540856031=x
x=2.2373540856031

now we have:
46 is 2.2373540856031% of 2056
