What is 34.79 percent of 45.86 - 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 45.86 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 45.86 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.86=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.79% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.79%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.86=100%
2) x=34.79%
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:
45.86/x=100%/34.79%
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 34.79% of 45.86

45.86/x=100/34.79
(45.86/x)*x=(100/34.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.86=2.8743891922966*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8743891922966) to get x
45.86/2.8743891922966=x
15.954694=x
x=15.954694

now we have:
34.79% of 45.86=15.954694
