33.37 is what percent of 376 - 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 376 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 376, so we can write it down as 100%=376.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=376
2) x%=33.37
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%=376/33.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.37 is what percent of 376

100%/x%=376/33.37
(100/x)*x=(376/33.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.267605633803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.267605633803) to get x
100/11.267605633803=x
8.875=x
x=8.875

now we have:
33.37 is 8.875% of 376
