0.41 is what percent of 5.99 - 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 5.99 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 5.99, so we can write it down as 100%=5.99.
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%=5.99
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%=5.99/0.41
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 5.99

100%/x%=5.99/0.41
(100/x)*x=(5.99/0.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.609756097561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.609756097561) to get x
100/14.609756097561=x
6.8447412353923=x
x=6.8447412353923

now we have:
0.41 is 6.8447412353923% of 5.99
