41.73 is what percent of 132.77 - 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 132.77 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 132.77, so we can write it down as 100%=132.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132.77
2) x%=41.73
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%=132.77/41.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.73 is what percent of 132.77

100%/x%=132.77/41.73
(100/x)*x=(132.77/41.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1816439012701*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1816439012701) to get x
100/3.1816439012701=x
31.430292987874=x
x=31.430292987874

now we have:
41.73 is 31.430292987874% of 132.77
