1.67 is what percent of 33.34 - 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 33.34 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 33.34, so we can write it down as 100%=33.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.34
2) x%=1.67
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%=33.34/1.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.67 is what percent of 33.34

100%/x%=33.34/1.67
(100/x)*x=(33.34/1.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.964071856287*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.964071856287) to get x
100/19.964071856287=x
5.0089982003599=x
x=5.0089982003599

now we have:
1.67 is 5.0089982003599% of 33.34
