What is 103.3 percent of 41.5 - 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 41.5 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 41.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 41.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 103.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=103.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 41.5=100%
2) x=103.3%
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:
41.5/x=100%/103.3%
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 103.3% of 41.5

41.5/x=100/103.3
(41.5/x)*x=(100/103.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
41.5=0.96805421103582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.96805421103582) to get x
41.5/0.96805421103582=x
42.8695=x
x=42.8695

now we have:
103.3% of 41.5=42.8695
