46.66 is what percent of 1460.87 - 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 1460.87 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 1460.87, so we can write it down as 100%=1460.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1460.87
2) x%=46.66
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%=1460.87/46.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.66 is what percent of 1460.87

100%/x%=1460.87/46.66
(100/x)*x=(1460.87/46.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.308829832833*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.308829832833) to get x
100/31.308829832833=x
3.1939871446467=x
x=3.1939871446467

now we have:
