33.53 is what percent of 1579.02 - 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 1579.02 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 1579.02, so we can write it down as 100%=1579.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1579.02
2) x%=33.53
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%=1579.02/33.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.53 is what percent of 1579.02

100%/x%=1579.02/33.53
(100/x)*x=(1579.02/33.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.092752758724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.092752758724) to get x
100/47.092752758724=x
2.1234689870933=x
x=2.1234689870933

now we have:
33.53 is 2.1234689870933% of 1579.02
