What is 21.67 percent of 46 - 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 46 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 46 is 100%, so we can write it down as 46=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 46=100%
2) x=21.67%
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:
46/x=100%/21.67%
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 21.67% of 46

46/x=100/21.67
(46/x)*x=(100/21.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
46=4.6146746654361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6146746654361) to get x
46/4.6146746654361=x
9.9682=x
x=9.9682

now we have:
21.67% of 46=9.9682
