2225.6 is what percent of 41600 - 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 41600 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 41600, so we can write it down as 100%=41600.
4. We know, that x% equals 2225.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2225.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41600
2) x%=2225.6
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%=41600/2225.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2225.6 is what percent of 41600

100%/x%=41600/2225.6
(100/x)*x=(41600/2225.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.691588785047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.691588785047) to get x
100/18.691588785047=x
5.35=x
x=5.35

now we have:
2225.6 is 5.35% of 41600
