41 is what percent of 1445 - 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 1445 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 100% equals 1445, so we can write it down as 100%=1445.
4. We know, that x% equals 41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1445
2) x%=41
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:
100%/x%=1445/41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41 is what percent of 1445

100%/x%=1445/41
(100/x)*x=(1445/41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.243902439024*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.243902439024) to get x
100/35.243902439024=x
2.8373702422145=x
x=2.8373702422145

now we have:
41 is 2.8373702422145% of 1445
