41.49 is what percent of 100.45 - 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 100.45 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 100.45, so we can write it down as 100%=100.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100.45
2) x%=41.49
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%=100.45/41.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.49 is what percent of 100.45

100%/x%=100.45/41.49
(100/x)*x=(100.45/41.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4210653169438*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4210653169438) to get x
100/2.4210653169438=x
41.304131408661=x
x=41.304131408661

now we have:
41.49 is 41.304131408661% of 100.45
