find the percent when the amount and base are known
amount / base = percent
46000000 / 54000000 = 0.851851852
Multiplty the decimal by 100 and attact the % symbol
0.851851852 x 100 = 85.18518519%

Divide the total number of visitors by the number that were there for the holiday.
46/54 = 85.2% (dont forget to move your decimal 2 places to the right to go to percentage.
Hope this helps
