46 is what percent of 6000000 - 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 6000000 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 6000000, so we can write it down as 100%=6000000.
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%=6000000
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%=6000000/46
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 6000000

100%/x%=6000000/46
(100/x)*x=(6000000/46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=130434.7826087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (130434.7826087) to get x
100/130434.7826087=x
0.00076666666666667=x
x=0.00076666666666667

now we have:
46 is 0.00076666666666667% of 6000000
