41 is what percent of 368 - 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 368 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 368, so we can write it down as 100%=368.
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%=368
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%=368/41
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 368

100%/x%=368/41
(100/x)*x=(368/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9756097560976*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9756097560976) to get x
100/8.9756097560976=x
11.141304347826=x
x=11.141304347826

now we have:
41 is 11.141304347826% of 368
