4.1 is what percent of 61.36 - 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 61.36 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 61.36, so we can write it down as 100%=61.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=61.36
2) x%=4.1
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%=61.36/4.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.1 is what percent of 61.36

100%/x%=61.36/4.1
(100/x)*x=(61.36/4.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.965853658537*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.965853658537) to get x
100/14.965853658537=x
6.6818774445893=x
x=6.6818774445893

now we have:
4.1 is 6.6818774445893% of 61.36
