41.83 is what percent of 154.79 - 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 154.79 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 154.79, so we can write it down as 100%=154.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=154.79
2) x%=41.83
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%=154.79/41.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.83 is what percent of 154.79

100%/x%=154.79/41.83
(100/x)*x=(154.79/41.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7004542194597*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7004542194597) to get x
100/3.7004542194597=x
27.02370954196=x
x=27.02370954196

now we have:
41.83 is 27.02370954196% of 154.79
