What is 46 percent of 33000000000 - 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 33000000000 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 33000000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33000000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33000000000=100%
2) x=46%
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:
33000000000/x=100%/46%
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 46% of 33000000000

33000000000/x=100/46
(33000000000/x)*x=(100/46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33000000000=2.1739130434783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1739130434783) to get x
33000000000/2.1739130434783=x
15180000000=x
x=15180000000

now we have:
46% of 33000000000=15180000000
