33 is what percent of 437 - 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 437 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 437, so we can write it down as 100%=437.
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%=437
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%=437/33
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 437

100%/x%=437/33
(100/x)*x=(437/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.242424242424*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.242424242424) to get x
100/13.242424242424=x
7.5514874141876=x
x=7.5514874141876

now we have:
33 is 7.5514874141876% of 437
