3.3 is what percent of 3550 - 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 3550 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 3550, so we can write it down as 100%=3550.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3550
2) x%=3.3
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%=3550/3.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.3 is what percent of 3550

100%/x%=3550/3.3
(100/x)*x=(3550/3.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1075.7575757576*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1075.7575757576) to get x
100/1075.7575757576=x
0.092957746478873=x
x=0.092957746478873

now we have:
3.3 is 0.092957746478873% of 3550
