0.41 is what percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100% equals 100, so we can write it down as 100%=100.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100
2) x%=0.41
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:
100%/x%=100/0.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.41 is what percent of 100

100%/x%=100/0.41
(100/x)*x=(100/0.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=243.90243902439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (243.90243902439) to get x
100/243.90243902439=x
0.41=x
x=0.41

now we have:
0.41 is 0.41% of 100
