46.73 is what percent of 129 - 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 129 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 129, so we can write it down as 100%=129.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=129
2) x%=46.73
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%=129/46.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.73 is what percent of 129

100%/x%=129/46.73
(100/x)*x=(129/46.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7605392681361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7605392681361) to get x
100/2.7605392681361=x
36.22480620155=x
x=36.22480620155

now we have:
46.73 is 36.22480620155% of 129
