41 is what percent of 58995 - 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 58995 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 58995, so we can write it down as 100%=58995.
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%=58995
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%=58995/41
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 58995

100%/x%=58995/41
(100/x)*x=(58995/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1438.9024390244*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1438.9024390244) to get x
100/1438.9024390244=x
0.069497415035172=x
x=0.069497415035172

now we have:
41 is 0.069497415035172% of 58995
