2.37 is what percent of 2.41 - 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 2.41 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 2.41, so we can write it down as 100%=2.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.41
2) x%=2.37
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%=2.41/2.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.37 is what percent of 2.41

100%/x%=2.41/2.37
(100/x)*x=(2.41/2.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0168776371308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0168776371308) to get x
100/1.0168776371308=x
98.340248962656=x
x=98.340248962656

now we have:
2.37 is 98.340248962656% of 2.41
