What is 101.43 percent of 40 - 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 40 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 40 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40=100%.
4. We know, that x is 101.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=101.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40=100%
2) x=101.43%
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:
40/x=100%/101.43%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 101.43% of 40

40/x=100/101.43
(40/x)*x=(100/101.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40=0.98590160701962*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98590160701962) to get x
40/0.98590160701962=x
40.572=x
x=40.572

now we have:
101.43% of 40=40.572
