1.12 is what percent of 41.53 - 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 41.53 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 41.53, so we can write it down as 100%=41.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.53
2) x%=1.12
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%=41.53/1.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.12 is what percent of 41.53

100%/x%=41.53/1.12
(100/x)*x=(41.53/1.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.080357142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.080357142857) to get x
100/37.080357142857=x
2.6968456537443=x
x=2.6968456537443

now we have:
1.12 is 2.6968456537443% of 41.53
