425.1 is what percent of 3961.85 - 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 3961.85 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 3961.85, so we can write it down as 100%=3961.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 425.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=425.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3961.85
2) x%=425.1
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%=3961.85/425.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 425.1 is what percent of 3961.85

100%/x%=3961.85/425.1
(100/x)*x=(3961.85/425.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3198071042108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3198071042108) to get x
100/9.3198071042108=x
10.729835809029=x
x=10.729835809029

now we have:
425.1 is 10.729835809029% of 3961.85
