What is 46.15 percent of 7408 - 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 7408 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 7408 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7408=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7408=100%
2) x=46.15%
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:
7408/x=100%/46.15%
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 46.15% of 7408

7408/x=100/46.15
(7408/x)*x=(100/46.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7408=2.1668472372698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1668472372698) to get x
7408/2.1668472372698=x
3418.792=x
x=3418.792

now we have:
46.15% of 7408=3418.792
