What is 2.849 percent of 41.302 - 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 41.302 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 41.302 is 100%, so we can write it down as 41.302=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.849% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.849%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 41.302=100%
2) x=2.849%
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:
41.302/x=100%/2.849%
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 2.849% of 41.302

41.302/x=100/2.849
(41.302/x)*x=(100/2.849)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
41.302=35.100035100035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.100035100035) to get x
41.302/35.100035100035=x
1.17669398=x
x=1.17669398

now we have:
2.849% of 41.302=1.17669398
