90.87 is what percent of 2046 - 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 2046 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 2046, so we can write it down as 100%=2046.
4. We know, that x% equals 90.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2046
2) x%=90.87
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%=2046/90.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90.87 is what percent of 2046

100%/x%=2046/90.87
(100/x)*x=(2046/90.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.51568174315*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.51568174315) to get x
100/22.51568174315=x
4.441348973607=x
x=4.441348973607

now we have:
90.87 is 4.441348973607% of 2046
