41.1 is what percent of 23.5 - 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 23.5 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 23.5, so we can write it down as 100%=23.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.5
2) x%=41.1
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%=23.5/41.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.1 is what percent of 23.5

100%/x%=23.5/41.1
(100/x)*x=(23.5/41.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.57177615571776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.57177615571776) to get x
100/0.57177615571776=x
174.89361702128=x
x=174.89361702128

now we have:
41.1 is 174.89361702128% of 23.5
