2.41 is what percent of 3.84 - 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 3.84 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 3.84, so we can write it down as 100%=3.84.
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%=3.84
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%=3.84/2.41
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 3.84

100%/x%=3.84/2.41
(100/x)*x=(3.84/2.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5933609958506*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5933609958506) to get x
100/1.5933609958506=x
62.760416666667=x
x=62.760416666667

now we have:
2.41 is 62.760416666667% of 3.84
