32333.33 is what percent of 155000 - 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 155000 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 155000, so we can write it down as 100%=155000.
4. We know, that x% equals 32333.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32333.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=155000
2) x%=32333.33
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%=155000/32333.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32333.33 is what percent of 155000

100%/x%=155000/32333.33
(100/x)*x=(155000/32333.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7938149271974*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7938149271974) to get x
100/4.7938149271974=x
20.860212903226=x
x=20.860212903226

now we have:
32333.33 is 20.860212903226% of 155000
