1.41 is what percent of 3.52 - 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 3.52 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 3.52, so we can write it down as 100%=3.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.52
2) x%=1.41
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%=3.52/1.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.41 is what percent of 3.52

100%/x%=3.52/1.41
(100/x)*x=(3.52/1.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4964539007092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4964539007092) to get x
100/2.4964539007092=x
40.056818181818=x
x=40.056818181818

now we have:
1.41 is 40.056818181818% of 3.52
