1071.33 is what percent of 40521 - 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 40521 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 40521, so we can write it down as 100%=40521.
4. We know, that x% equals 1071.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1071.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40521
2) x%=1071.33
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%=40521/1071.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1071.33 is what percent of 40521

100%/x%=40521/1071.33
(100/x)*x=(40521/1071.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.823079723335*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.823079723335) to get x
100/37.823079723335=x
2.6438883541867=x
x=2.6438883541867

now we have:
