21.65 is what percent of 433.06 - 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 433.06 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 433.06, so we can write it down as 100%=433.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 21.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=433.06
2) x%=21.65
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%=433.06/21.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21.65 is what percent of 433.06

100%/x%=433.06/21.65
(100/x)*x=(433.06/21.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.002771362587*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.002771362587) to get x
100/20.002771362587=x
4.9993072553457=x
x=4.9993072553457

now we have:
21.65 is 4.9993072553457% of 433.06
