13.33 is what percent of 33.33 - 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 33.33 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 33.33, so we can write it down as 100%=33.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.33
2) x%=13.33
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:
100%/x%=33.33/13.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.33 is what percent of 33.33

100%/x%=33.33/13.33
(100/x)*x=(33.33/13.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5003750937734*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5003750937734) to get x
100/2.5003750937734=x
39.99399939994=x
x=39.99399939994

now we have:
13.33 is 39.99399939994% of 33.33
