38.81 is what percent of 41.19 - 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 41.19 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 41.19, so we can write it down as 100%=41.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 38.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.19
2) x%=38.81
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%=41.19/38.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38.81 is what percent of 41.19

100%/x%=41.19/38.81
(100/x)*x=(41.19/38.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0613244009276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0613244009276) to get x
100/1.0613244009276=x
94.221898519058=x
x=94.221898519058

now we have:
38.81 is 94.221898519058% of 41.19
