What is 1.145 percent of 45.8 - 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 45.8 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 45.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.145% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.145%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.8=100%
2) x=1.145%
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:
45.8/x=100%/1.145%
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 1.145% of 45.8

45.8/x=100/1.145
(45.8/x)*x=(100/1.145)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.8=87.336244541485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (87.336244541485) to get x
45.8/87.336244541485=x
0.52441=x
x=0.52441

now we have:
1.145% of 45.8=0.52441
