What is 46.6 percent of 3300 - 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 3300 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 3300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3300=100%
2) x=46.6%
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:
3300/x=100%/46.6%
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 46.6% of 3300

3300/x=100/46.6
(3300/x)*x=(100/46.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3300=2.1459227467811*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1459227467811) to get x
3300/2.1459227467811=x
1537.8=x
x=1537.8

now we have:
46.6% of 3300=1537.8
