What is 41.72 percent of 518.58 - 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 518.58 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 518.58 is 100%, so we can write it down as 518.58=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 518.58=100%
2) x=41.72%
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:
518.58/x=100%/41.72%
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 41.72% of 518.58

518.58/x=100/41.72
(518.58/x)*x=(100/41.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
518.58=2.3969319271333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3969319271333) to get x
518.58/2.3969319271333=x
216.351576=x
x=216.351576

now we have:
41.72% of 518.58=216.351576
