What is 10.58 percent of 460 - 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 460 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 460 is 100%, so we can write it down as 460=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.58% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.58%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 460=100%
2) x=10.58%
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:
460/x=100%/10.58%
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 10.58% of 460

460/x=100/10.58
(460/x)*x=(100/10.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
460=9.4517958412098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4517958412098) to get x
460/9.4517958412098=x
48.668=x
x=48.668

now we have:
10.58% of 460=48.668
