20 is what percent of 3329 - 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 3329 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 3329, so we can write it down as 100%=3329.
4. We know, that x% equals 20 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3329
2) x%=20
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%=3329/20
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20 is what percent of 3329

100%/x%=3329/20
(100/x)*x=(3329/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=166.45*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (166.45) to get x
100/166.45=x
0.60078101531992=x
x=0.60078101531992

now we have:
20 is 0.60078101531992% of 3329
