41 is what percent of 7975 - 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 7975 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 7975, so we can write it down as 100%=7975.
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%=7975
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%=7975/41
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 7975

100%/x%=7975/41
(100/x)*x=(7975/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=194.51219512195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (194.51219512195) to get x
100/194.51219512195=x
0.5141065830721=x
x=0.5141065830721

now we have:
41 is 0.5141065830721% of 7975
