What is 46.035 percent of 12.15 - 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 12.15 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 12.15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.035% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.035%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.15=100%
2) x=46.035%
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:
12.15/x=100%/46.035%
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 46.035% of 12.15

12.15/x=100/46.035
(12.15/x)*x=(100/46.035)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.15=2.1722602367764*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1722602367764) to get x
12.15/2.1722602367764=x
5.5932525=x
x=5.5932525

now we have:
46.035% of 12.15=5.5932525
