33.08 is what percent of 249.53 - 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 249.53 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 249.53, so we can write it down as 100%=249.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=249.53
2) x%=33.08
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%=249.53/33.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.08 is what percent of 249.53

100%/x%=249.53/33.08
(100/x)*x=(249.53/33.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5432285368803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5432285368803) to get x
100/7.5432285368803=x
13.256923015269=x
x=13.256923015269

now we have:
33.08 is 13.256923015269% of 249.53
