33 is what percent of 11241 - 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 11241 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 11241, so we can write it down as 100%=11241.
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%=11241
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%=11241/33
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 11241

100%/x%=11241/33
(100/x)*x=(11241/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=340.63636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (340.63636363636) to get x
100/340.63636363636=x
0.29356818788364=x
x=0.29356818788364

now we have:
33 is 0.29356818788364% of 11241
