46.8 is what percent of 765.19 - 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 765.19 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 765.19, so we can write it down as 100%=765.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=765.19
2) x%=46.8
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%=765.19/46.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.8 is what percent of 765.19

100%/x%=765.19/46.8
(100/x)*x=(765.19/46.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.350213675214*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.350213675214) to get x
100/16.350213675214=x
6.1161280204916=x
x=6.1161280204916

now we have:
46.8 is 6.1161280204916% of 765.19
