1.3 is what percent of 57.846 - 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 57.846 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 100% equals 57.846, so we can write it down as 100%=57.846.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=57.846
2) x%=1.3
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:
100%/x%=57.846/1.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.3 is what percent of 57.846

100%/x%=57.846/1.3
(100/x)*x=(57.846/1.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.4969230769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.4969230769) to get x
100/44.4969230769=x
2.24734640252=x
x=2.24734640252

now we have:
1.3 is 2.24734640252% of 57.846
