28 is what percent of 6533 - 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 6533 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 6533, so we can write it down as 100%=6533.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6533
2) x%=28
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%=6533/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 6533

100%/x%=6533/28
(100/x)*x=(6533/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=233.32142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (233.32142857143) to get x
100/233.32142857143=x
0.4285932955763=x
x=0.4285932955763

now we have:
28 is 0.4285932955763% of 6533
