81.83 is what percent of 41.75 - 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 41.75 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 41.75, so we can write it down as 100%=41.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 81.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.75
2) x%=81.83
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%=41.75/81.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81.83 is what percent of 41.75

100%/x%=41.75/81.83
(100/x)*x=(41.75/81.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.51020408163265*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.51020408163265) to get x
100/0.51020408163265=x
196=x
x=196

now we have:
81.83 is 196% of 41.75
