46 is what percent of 41000 - 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 41000 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 41000, so we can write it down as 100%=41000.
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%=41000
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%=41000/46
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 41000

100%/x%=41000/46
(100/x)*x=(41000/46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=891.30434782609*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (891.30434782609) to get x
100/891.30434782609=x
0.11219512195122=x
x=0.11219512195122

now we have:
46 is 0.11219512195122% of 41000
