What is 46000000 percent of 17.7 - 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 17.7 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 17.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.7=100%
2) x=46000000%
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:
17.7/x=100%/46000000%
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 46000000% of 17.7

17.7/x=100/46000000
(17.7/x)*x=(100/46000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.7=2.1739130434783E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1739130434783E-6) to get x
17.7/2.1739130434783E-6=x
8142000=x
x=8142000

now we have:
46000000% of 17.7=8142000
