41 is what percent of 231995 - 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 231995 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 231995, so we can write it down as 100%=231995.
4. We know, that x% equals 41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=231995
2) x%=41
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%=231995/41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41 is what percent of 231995

100%/x%=231995/41
(100/x)*x=(231995/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100/5658.4146341463=x
0.017672794672299=x
x=0.017672794672299

now we have:
