46252.8 is what percent of 3100000 - 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 3100000 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 3100000, so we can write it down as 100%=3100000.
4. We know, that x% equals 46252.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46252.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3100000
2) x%=46252.8
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%=3100000/46252.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46252.8 is what percent of 3100000

100%/x%=3100000/46252.8
(100/x)*x=(3100000/46252.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.02296942023*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.02296942023) to get x
100/67.02296942023=x
1.4920258064516=x
x=1.4920258064516

now we have:
