What is 34.62 percent of 4.62 - 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 4.62 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 4.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.62=100%
2) x=34.62%
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:
4.62/x=100%/34.62%
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 34.62% of 4.62

4.62/x=100/34.62
(4.62/x)*x=(100/34.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.62=2.8885037550549*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8885037550549) to get x
4.62/2.8885037550549=x
1.599444=x
x=1.599444

now we have:
34.62% of 4.62=1.599444
