241.99 is what percent of 439.41 - 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 439.41 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 439.41, so we can write it down as 100%=439.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 241.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=241.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=439.41
2) x%=241.99
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%=439.41/241.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 241.99 is what percent of 439.41

100%/x%=439.41/241.99
(100/x)*x=(439.41/241.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8158188354891*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8158188354891) to get x
100/1.8158188354891=x
55.071573245943=x
x=55.071573245943

now we have:
