What is 0.31 percent of 45.97 - 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 45.97 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 45.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.97=100%
2) x=0.31%
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:
45.97/x=100%/0.31%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.31% of 45.97

45.97/x=100/0.31
(45.97/x)*x=(100/0.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.97=322.58064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (322.58064516129) to get x
45.97/322.58064516129=x
0.142507=x
x=0.142507

now we have:
0.31% of 45.97=0.142507
