What is 9.249 percent of 40.95 - 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 40.95 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 40.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.249% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.249%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40.95=100%
2) x=9.249%
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:
40.95/x=100%/9.249%
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 9.249% of 40.95

40.95/x=100/9.249
(40.95/x)*x=(100/9.249)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40.95=10.811979673478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.811979673478) to get x
40.95/10.811979673478=x
3.7874655=x
x=3.7874655

now we have:
9.249% of 40.95=3.7874655
