17.03 is what percent of 33.06 - 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 33.06 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 33.06, so we can write it down as 100%=33.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.06
2) x%=17.03
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%=33.06/17.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.03 is what percent of 33.06

100%/x%=33.06/17.03
(100/x)*x=(33.06/17.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9412800939518*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9412800939518) to get x
100/1.9412800939518=x
51.51240169389=x
x=51.51240169389

now we have:
17.03 is 51.51240169389% of 33.06
