46.95 is what percent of 25.6 - 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 25.6 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 25.6, so we can write it down as 100%=25.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.6
2) x%=46.95
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%=25.6/46.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.95 is what percent of 25.6

100%/x%=25.6/46.95
(100/x)*x=(25.6/46.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.54526091586794*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.54526091586794) to get x
100/0.54526091586794=x
183.3984375=x
x=183.3984375

now we have:
46.95 is 183.3984375% of 25.6
