41 is what percent of 819 - 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 819 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 819, so we can write it down as 100%=819.
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%=819
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%=819/41
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 819

100%/x%=819/41
(100/x)*x=(819/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.975609756098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.975609756098) to get x
100/19.975609756098=x
5.006105006105=x
x=5.006105006105

now we have:
41 is 5.006105006105% of 819
