41.26 is what percent of 611.29 - 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 611.29 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 611.29, so we can write it down as 100%=611.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=611.29
2) x%=41.26
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%=611.29/41.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.26 is what percent of 611.29

100%/x%=611.29/41.26
(100/x)*x=(611.29/41.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.815559864275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.815559864275) to get x
100/14.815559864275=x
6.7496605539106=x
x=6.7496605539106

now we have:
41.26 is 6.7496605539106% of 611.29
