3.3 is what percent of 72.73 - 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 72.73 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 72.73, so we can write it down as 100%=72.73.
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%=72.73
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%=72.73/3.3
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 72.73

100%/x%=72.73/3.3
(100/x)*x=(72.73/3.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.039393939394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.039393939394) to get x
100/22.039393939394=x
4.5373298501306=x
x=4.5373298501306

now we have:
3.3 is 4.5373298501306% of 72.73
