What is 2.23 percent of 465 - 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 465 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 465 is 100%, so we can write it down as 465=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 465=100%
2) x=2.23%
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:
465/x=100%/2.23%
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 2.23% of 465

465/x=100/2.23
(465/x)*x=(100/2.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
465=44.843049327354*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.843049327354) to get x
465/44.843049327354=x
10.3695=x
x=10.3695

now we have:
2.23% of 465=10.3695
