41 is what percent of 5425 - 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 5425 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 5425, so we can write it down as 100%=5425.
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%=5425
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%=5425/41
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 5425

100%/x%=5425/41
(100/x)*x=(5425/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=132.31707317073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (132.31707317073) to get x
100/132.31707317073=x
0.75576036866359=x
x=0.75576036866359

now we have:
41 is 0.75576036866359% of 5425
