2.41 is what percent of 2.24 - 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 2.24 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 2.24, so we can write it down as 100%=2.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.24
2) x%=2.41
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%=2.24/2.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.41 is what percent of 2.24

100%/x%=2.24/2.41
(100/x)*x=(2.24/2.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.92946058091286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.92946058091286) to get x
100/0.92946058091286=x
107.58928571429=x
x=107.58928571429

now we have:
2.41 is 107.58928571429% of 2.24
