41.5 is what percent of 30833 - 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 30833 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 30833, so we can write it down as 100%=30833.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30833
2) x%=41.5
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%=30833/41.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.5 is what percent of 30833

100%/x%=30833/41.5
(100/x)*x=(30833/41.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=742.96385542169*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (742.96385542169) to get x
100/742.96385542169=x
0.13459604968702=x
x=0.13459604968702

now we have:
41.5 is 0.13459604968702% of 30833
