1.77 is what percent of 41.5 - 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 41.5 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 41.5, so we can write it down as 100%=41.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.5
2) x%=1.77
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%=41.5/1.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.77 is what percent of 41.5

100%/x%=41.5/1.77
(100/x)*x=(41.5/1.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.446327683616*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.446327683616) to get x
100/23.446327683616=x
4.2650602409639=x
x=4.2650602409639

now we have:
1.77 is 4.2650602409639% of 41.5
