33 is what percent of 4675 - 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 4675 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 4675, so we can write it down as 100%=4675.
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%=4675
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%=4675/33
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 4675

100%/x%=4675/33
(100/x)*x=(4675/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=141.66666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (141.66666666667) to get x
100/141.66666666667=x
0.70588235294118=x
x=0.70588235294118

now we have:
33 is 0.70588235294118% of 4675
