6.24 is what percent of 41.1 - 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 41.1 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 41.1, so we can write it down as 100%=41.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.1
2) x%=6.24
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%=41.1/6.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.24 is what percent of 41.1

100%/x%=41.1/6.24
(100/x)*x=(41.1/6.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5865384615385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5865384615385) to get x
100/6.5865384615385=x
15.182481751825=x
x=15.182481751825

now we have:
6.24 is 15.182481751825% of 41.1
