28.9 is what percent of 41.1 - 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 41.1 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 41.1, so we can write it down as 100%=41.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.1
2) x%=28.9
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%=41.1/28.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.9 is what percent of 41.1

100%/x%=41.1/28.9
(100/x)*x=(41.1/28.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4221453287197*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4221453287197) to get x
100/1.4221453287197=x
70.316301703163=x
x=70.316301703163

now we have:
28.9 is 70.316301703163% of 41.1
