541.2 is what percent of 410 - 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 410 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 410, so we can write it down as 100%=410.
4. We know, that x% equals 541.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=541.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=410
2) x%=541.2
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%=410/541.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 541.2 is what percent of 410

100%/x%=410/541.2
(100/x)*x=(410/541.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.75757575757576*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75757575757576) to get x
100/0.75757575757576=x
132=x
x=132

now we have:
541.2 is 132% of 410
