33.45 is what percent of 738.03 - 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 738.03 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 738.03, so we can write it down as 100%=738.03.
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%=738.03
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%=738.03/33.45
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 738.03

100%/x%=738.03/33.45
(100/x)*x=(738.03/33.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.063677130045*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.063677130045) to get x
100/22.063677130045=x
4.532336083899=x
x=4.532336083899

now we have:
33.45 is 4.532336083899% of 738.03
