What is 1 percent of 465157 - 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 465157 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 465157 is 100%, so we can write it down as 465157=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 465157=100%
2) x=1%
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:
465157/x=100%/1%
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 1% of 465157

465157/x=100/1
(465157/x)*x=(100/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
465157=100*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x
465157/100=x
4651.57=x
x=4651.57

now we have:
1% of 465157=4651.57
