What is 46500 percent of 155000 - 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 155000 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 155000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 155000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 155000=100%
2) x=46500%
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:
155000/x=100%/46500%
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 46500% of 155000

155000/x=100/46500
(155000/x)*x=(100/46500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
155000=0.0021505376344086*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0021505376344086) to get x
155000/0.0021505376344086=x
72075000=x
x=72075000

now we have:
46500% of 155000=72075000
