41.13 is what percent of 50 - 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 50 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 50, so we can write it down as 100%=50.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50
2) x%=41.13
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%=50/41.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.13 is what percent of 50

100%/x%=50/41.13
(100/x)*x=(50/41.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2156576707999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2156576707999) to get x
100/1.2156576707999=x
82.26=x
x=82.26

now we have:
41.13 is 82.26% of 50
