33 is what percent of 2763 - 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 2763 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 2763, so we can write it down as 100%=2763.
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%=2763
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%=2763/33
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 2763

100%/x%=2763/33
(100/x)*x=(2763/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=83.7272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (83.7272727273) to get x
100/83.7272727273=x
1.19435396308=x
x=1.19435396308

now we have:
33 is 1.19435396308% of 2763
