41.12 is what percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75
2) x%=41.12
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%=75/41.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.12 is what percent of 75

100%/x%=75/41.12
(100/x)*x=(75/41.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8239299610895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8239299610895) to get x
100/1.8239299610895=x
54.826666666667=x
x=54.826666666667

now we have:
41.12 is 54.826666666667% of 75
