3.3 is what percent of 9.7 - 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 9.7 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 9.7, so we can write it down as 100%=9.7.
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%=9.7
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%=9.7/3.3
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 9.7

100%/x%=9.7/3.3
(100/x)*x=(9.7/3.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9393939393939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9393939393939) to get x
100/2.9393939393939=x
34.020618556701=x
x=34.020618556701

now we have:
3.3 is 34.020618556701% of 9.7
