What is 41.95 percent of 20 - 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 20 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 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=41.95%
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:
20/x=100%/41.95%
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 41.95% of 20

20/x=100/41.95
(20/x)*x=(100/41.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=2.3837902264601*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3837902264601) to get x
20/2.3837902264601=x
8.39=x
x=8.39

now we have:
41.95% of 20=8.39
