1.25 is what percent of 41.62 - 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 41.62 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 41.62, so we can write it down as 100%=41.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.62
2) x%=1.25
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%=41.62/1.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.25 is what percent of 41.62

100%/x%=41.62/1.25
(100/x)*x=(41.62/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.296) to get x
100/33.296=x
3.0033637674195=x
x=3.0033637674195

now we have:
1.25 is 3.0033637674195% of 41.62
