33.33 is what percent of 837.38 - 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 837.38 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 837.38, so we can write it down as 100%=837.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=837.38
2) x%=33.33
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%=837.38/33.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.33 is what percent of 837.38

100%/x%=837.38/33.33
(100/x)*x=(837.38/33.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.123912391239*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.123912391239) to get x
100/25.123912391239=x
3.9802718001385=x
x=3.9802718001385

now we have:
33.33 is 3.9802718001385% of 837.38
