41.3 is what percent of 43 - 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 43 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 43, so we can write it down as 100%=43.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=43
2) x%=41.3
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%=43/41.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.3 is what percent of 43

100%/x%=43/41.3
(100/x)*x=(43/41.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0411622276029*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0411622276029) to get x
100/1.0411622276029=x
96.046511627907=x
x=96.046511627907

now we have:
41.3 is 96.046511627907% of 43
