3.58 is what percent of 33 - 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 33 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 33, so we can write it down as 100%=33.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33
2) x%=3.58
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%=33/3.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.58 is what percent of 33

100%/x%=33/3.58
(100/x)*x=(33/3.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.2178770949721*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.2178770949721) to get x
100/9.2178770949721=x
10.848484848485=x
x=10.848484848485

now we have:
3.58 is 10.848484848485% of 33
