What is 38.33 percent of 41.84 - 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 41.84 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 41.84 is 100%, so we can write it down as 41.84=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 41.84=100%
2) x=38.33%
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:
41.84/x=100%/38.33%
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 38.33% of 41.84

41.84/x=100/38.33
(41.84/x)*x=(100/38.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
41.84=2.6089225150013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6089225150013) to get x
41.84/2.6089225150013=x
16.037272=x
x=16.037272

now we have:
38.33% of 41.84=16.037272
