What is 41.15 percent of 3.179 - 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 3.179 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 3.179 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.179=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.179=100%
2) x=41.15%
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:
3.179/x=100%/41.15%
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 41.15% of 3.179

3.179/x=100/41.15
(3.179/x)*x=(100/41.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.179=2.4301336573512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4301336573512) to get x
3.179/2.4301336573512=x
1.3081585=x
x=1.3081585

now we have:
41.15% of 3.179=1.3081585
