41.14 is what percent of 2973.32 - 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 2973.32 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 2973.32, so we can write it down as 100%=2973.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2973.32
2) x%=41.14
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%=2973.32/41.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.14 is what percent of 2973.32

100%/x%=2973.32/41.14
(100/x)*x=(2973.32/41.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=72.273213417598*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (72.273213417598) to get x
100/72.273213417598=x
1.3836384916524=x
x=1.3836384916524

now we have:
