What is 41.6 percent of 275 - 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 275 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 275 is 100%, so we can write it down as 275=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 275=100%
2) x=41.6%
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:
275/x=100%/41.6%
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 41.6% of 275

275/x=100/41.6
(275/x)*x=(100/41.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
275=2.4038461538462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4038461538462) to get x
275/2.4038461538462=x
114.4=x
x=114.4

now we have:
41.6% of 275=114.4
