1.56 is what percent of 33.98 - 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 33.98 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 33.98, so we can write it down as 100%=33.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.98
2) x%=1.56
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%=33.98/1.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.56 is what percent of 33.98

100%/x%=33.98/1.56
(100/x)*x=(33.98/1.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.782051282051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.782051282051) to get x
100/21.782051282051=x
4.5909358446145=x
x=4.5909358446145

now we have:
1.56 is 4.5909358446145% of 33.98
