33.2 is what percent of 301 - 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 301 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 301, so we can write it down as 100%=301.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=301
2) x%=33.2
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%=301/33.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.2 is what percent of 301

100%/x%=301/33.2
(100/x)*x=(301/33.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.066265060241*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.066265060241) to get x
100/9.066265060241=x
11.029900332226=x
x=11.029900332226

now we have:
33.2 is 11.029900332226% of 301
