17.6 is what percent of 133.3 - 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 133.3 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 133.3, so we can write it down as 100%=133.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=133.3
2) x%=17.6
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%=133.3/17.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.6 is what percent of 133.3

100%/x%=133.3/17.6
(100/x)*x=(133.3/17.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5738636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5738636363636) to get x
100/7.5738636363636=x
13.203300825206=x
x=13.203300825206

now we have:
17.6 is 13.203300825206% of 133.3
