31.65 is what percent of 33.76 - 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 33.76 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 33.76, so we can write it down as 100%=33.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 31.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=31.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.76
2) x%=31.65
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%=33.76/31.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31.65 is what percent of 33.76

100%/x%=33.76/31.65
(100/x)*x=(33.76/31.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0666666666667) to get x
100/1.0666666666667=x
93.75=x
x=93.75

now we have:
31.65 is 93.75% of 33.76
