46.75 is what percent of 8.16 - 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 8.16 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 8.16, so we can write it down as 100%=8.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.16
2) x%=46.75
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%=8.16/46.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.75 is what percent of 8.16

100%/x%=8.16/46.75
(100/x)*x=(8.16/46.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.17454545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.17454545454545) to get x
100/0.17454545454545=x
572.91666666667=x
x=572.91666666667

now we have:
46.75 is 572.91666666667% of 8.16
