33 is what percent of 2473 - 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 2473 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 2473, so we can write it down as 100%=2473.
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%=2473
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%=2473/33
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 2473

100%/x%=2473/33
(100/x)*x=(2473/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=74.939393939394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (74.939393939394) to get x
100/74.939393939394=x
1.3344116457744=x
x=1.3344116457744

now we have:
33 is 1.3344116457744% of 2473
