46.36 is what percent of 70.36 - 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 70.36 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 70.36, so we can write it down as 100%=70.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=70.36
2) x%=46.36
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%=70.36/46.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.36 is what percent of 70.36

100%/x%=70.36/46.36
(100/x)*x=(70.36/46.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5176876617774*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5176876617774) to get x
100/1.5176876617774=x
65.889710062536=x
x=65.889710062536

now we have:
46.36 is 65.889710062536% of 70.36
