21 is what percent of 3313 - 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 3313 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 3313, so we can write it down as 100%=3313.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3313
2) x%=21
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%=3313/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 3313

100%/x%=3313/21
(100/x)*x=(3313/21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=157.7619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (157.7619047619) to get x
100/157.7619047619=x
0.63386658617567=x
x=0.63386658617567

now we have:
21 is 0.63386658617567% of 3313
