33.45 is what percent of 251.36 - 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 251.36 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 251.36, so we can write it down as 100%=251.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=251.36
2) x%=33.45
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%=251.36/33.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.45 is what percent of 251.36

100%/x%=251.36/33.45
(100/x)*x=(251.36/33.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5144992526158*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5144992526158) to get x
100/7.5144992526158=x
13.307606619987=x
x=13.307606619987

now we have:
33.45 is 13.307606619987% of 251.36
