Problem:
If $922,774,069 = 46.45%, what is 100% Thanks a million. --Mike 2. Originally Posted by neomastino I don't want my boss to think that I am an idiot, so if you all can help I would be so appreciative. Problem: If$922,774,069 = 46.45%, what is 100%

Thanks a million.

--Mike
$922,774,069 is 46.45% of x, so $x = \frac{\ 922,774,069}{46.45 \%} = \frac{\ 922,774,069}{0.4645} = \ 1,986,596,488.70$ (rounded slightly) -Dan 3. Thanks a million. There is a reason that I am a lawyer and not a math whiz --Mike 4. Hello, Mike! If$922,774,069 = 46.45%, what is 100% ?

You have: .46.45% of something is 992,774,069

We have the equation: . $0.4645x \:=\:992,774,069$

Divide both sides by 0.4645: . $x \:=\:1,986,596,488.698...$

Problem:
If $922,774,069 = 46.45%, what is 100% Thanks a million. --Mike In general, if you have x = y % ? = 100 % The unknown ("?") can be computed as follows ? = (100/y) * x In your case$922,774,069 = 46.45%
? = 100 %

? = (100/46.45) * 922,774,069
? = 1986596488.697 =~ 1,986,596,488.70

Hope this helps
