46 is what percent of 2269 - 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 2269 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 2269, so we can write it down as 100%=2269.
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%=2269
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%=2269/46
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 2269

100%/x%=2269/46
(100/x)*x=(2269/46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.326086956522*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.326086956522) to get x
100/49.326086956522=x
2.0273248126928=x
x=2.0273248126928

now we have:
46 is 2.0273248126928% of 2269
