33 is what percent of 669 - 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 669 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 669, so we can write it down as 100%=669.
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%=669
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%=669/33
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 669

100%/x%=669/33
(100/x)*x=(669/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.272727272727*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.272727272727) to get x
100/20.272727272727=x
4.932735426009=x
x=4.932735426009

now we have:
33 is 4.932735426009% of 669
