33 is what percent of 1076 - 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 1076 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 1076, so we can write it down as 100%=1076.
4. We know, that x% equals 33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1076
2) x%=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%=1076/33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33 is what percent of 1076

100%/x%=1076/33
(100/x)*x=(1076/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.606060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.606060606061) to get x
100/32.606060606061=x
3.0669144981413=x
x=3.0669144981413

now we have:
33 is 3.0669144981413% of 1076
