1.26 is what percent of 33 - 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 33 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 33, so we can write it down as 100%=33.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33
2) x%=1.26
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%=33/1.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.26 is what percent of 33

100%/x%=33/1.26
(100/x)*x=(33/1.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.190476190476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.190476190476) to get x
100/26.190476190476=x
3.8181818181818=x
x=3.8181818181818

now we have:
1.26 is 3.8181818181818% of 33
