41 is what percent of 620 - 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 620 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 620, so we can write it down as 100%=620.
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%=620
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%=620/41
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 620

100%/x%=620/41
(100/x)*x=(620/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.121951219512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.121951219512) to get x
100/15.121951219512=x
6.6129032258065=x
x=6.6129032258065

now we have:
41 is 6.6129032258065% of 620
