1.15 is what percent of 41.66 - 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 41.66 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 41.66, so we can write it down as 100%=41.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.66
2) x%=1.15
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%=41.66/1.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.15 is what percent of 41.66

100%/x%=41.66/1.15
(100/x)*x=(41.66/1.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=36.226086956522*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.226086956522) to get x
100/36.226086956522=x
2.7604416706673=x
x=2.7604416706673

now we have:
1.15 is 2.7604416706673% of 41.66
