8.41 is what percent of 3585.32 - 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 3585.32 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 3585.32, so we can write it down as 100%=3585.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3585.32
2) x%=8.41
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%=3585.32/8.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.41 is what percent of 3585.32

100%/x%=3585.32/8.41
(100/x)*x=(3585.32/8.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=426.3162901308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (426.3162901308) to get x
100/426.3162901308=x
0.23456762576283=x
x=0.23456762576283

now we have:
8.41 is 0.23456762576283% of 3585.32
