0.51 is what percent of 0.41 - 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 0.41 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 0.41, so we can write it down as 100%=0.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.41
2) x%=0.51
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%=0.41/0.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.51 is what percent of 0.41

100%/x%=0.41/0.51
(100/x)*x=(0.41/0.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.80392156862745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80392156862745) to get x
100/0.80392156862745=x
124.39024390244=x
x=124.39024390244

now we have:
0.51 is 124.39024390244% of 0.41
