41 is what percent of 925 - 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 925 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 925, so we can write it down as 100%=925.
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%=925
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%=925/41
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 925

100%/x%=925/41
(100/x)*x=(925/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.560975609756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.560975609756) to get x
100/22.560975609756=x
4.4324324324324=x
x=4.4324324324324

now we have:
41 is 4.4324324324324% of 925
