Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem. We need to find a number of which 46 is 100%. This means 46 is the whole or total of this unknown number.
Set up the equation: Step 2: Set up the equation. If 46 is 100% of a number, then that number multiplied by 100% (or 1) should equal 46. Let's call the unknown number x. So, the equation is:x×100%=46
Solve for x: Step 3: Solve for x. Since multiplying by 100% (or 1) doesn't change the number, x=46.
