- 0.46% of ? = 130: Percentage of - 0.46 (percent) calculated of what missing unknown number equals the given value, 130?
- 0.46% of what missing number = 130?
Detailed calculations and the verification of the result
A brief introduction. Percent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
- 0.46% = - 0.46 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100
- 0.46% = - 0.46/100 = - 0.46 ÷ 100 = - 0.0046
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
What does it mean: Percentage of - 0.46% of which number is equal to 130?
- 0.46% of what number = 130
... is equivalent to multiplying them:
- 0.46% × number = 130
Number calculation, finding the missing unknown number
Percentage of - 0.46% of what number = 130?
Let y be the number that we have to calculate.
- 0.46% × y = 130 =>
y =
130 ÷ - 0.46% =
130 ÷ (- 0.46 ÷ 100) =
(100 × 130) ÷ - 0.46 =
13,000 ÷ - 0.46 ≈
- 28,260.869565217391 ≈
- 28,260.87
- 0.46% of - 28,260.87 ≈ 130
Proof of the calculations
How do we check the result?
We carry out the reverse operation:
If - 0.46% × - 28,260.869565217391 = 130 =>
Divide the number 130 by the number - 28,260.869565217391...
... And see if we get as a result: - 0.46%
A quick note:
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100, ... and its value doesn't change.
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
By multiplying a number by the fraction 100/100, we change only the form of the result, not the result.
n/100 = n%, any number.
Calculate the percentage value: See if we get the percentage of - 0.46%
We will prove below that the calculations are correct.
130 ÷ - 28,260.869565217391 =
- 0.0046 =
- 0.0046 × 100/100 =
(- 0.0046 × 100)/100 =
- 0.46/100 =
- 0.46%

Three examples of problems that can be solved out using the information in this section:
Problem 1:
25% of the annual profit of a company was invested in buying some new equipment. The total amount invested in buying the new equipment was 100,000 dollars. What was the annual profit of the company?
A number of 20% of the students in the terminal year have enrolled into the swimming class. In total, 7 students have enrolled. How many students are in the terminal year?
Rewrite: 20% of the students means 7 students => 20% × Total number of students = 7 => The total number of students = 7 ÷ 20% = 7 ÷ 20/100 = 7 × 100/20 = 7 × 5 = 35;
Problem 3:
In the last elections 49% of community memebrs voted for the A Party, 32% for the B Party, and the rest for the C Party. 17,920 people voted for the B Party. How many members are in the community, all in all?
Rewrite: 32% of the total community members means 17,920 people => 32% × The total number of community members = 17,920 => The total number of community members = 17,920 ÷ 32% people = 17,920 ÷ 32/100 people = 17,920 × 100/32 people = 17,920/32 × 100 = 560 × 100 people = 56,000 people.
