41.2 is what percent of 94 - 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 94 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 94, so we can write it down as 100%=94.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94
2) x%=41.2
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%=94/41.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.2 is what percent of 94

100%/x%=94/41.2
(100/x)*x=(94/41.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2815533980583*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2815533980583) to get x
100/2.2815533980583=x
43.829787234043=x
x=43.829787234043

now we have:
41.2 is 43.829787234043% of 94
