46.4 is what percent of 3052 - 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 3052 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 3052, so we can write it down as 100%=3052.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3052
2) x%=46.4
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%=3052/46.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.4 is what percent of 3052

100%/x%=3052/46.4
(100/x)*x=(3052/46.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=65.775862068966*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (65.775862068966) to get x
100/65.775862068966=x
1.5203145478375=x
x=1.5203145478375

now we have:
46.4 is 1.5203145478375% of 3052
