9.73 is what percent of 46000 - 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 46000 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 46000, so we can write it down as 100%=46000.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=46000
2) x%=9.73
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%=46000/9.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.73 is what percent of 46000

100%/x%=46000/9.73
(100/x)*x=(46000/9.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4727.6464542652*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4727.6464542652) to get x
100/4727.6464542652=x
0.021152173913043=x
x=0.021152173913043

now we have:
9.73 is 0.021152173913043% of 46000
