What is 46.1538461538 percent of 3 - 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 3 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 3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.1538461538% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.1538461538%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3=100%
2) x=46.1538461538%
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:
3/x=100%/46.1538461538%
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 46.1538461538% of 3

3/x=100/46.1538461538
(3/x)*x=(100/46.1538461538)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3=2.1666666666688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1666666666688) to get x
3/2.1666666666688=x
1.384615384614=x
x=1.384615384614

now we have:
46.1538461538% of 3=1.384615384614
