33.62 is what percent of 73.16 - 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 73.16 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 73.16, so we can write it down as 100%=73.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73.16
2) x%=33.62
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%=73.16/33.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.62 is what percent of 73.16

100%/x%=73.16/33.62
(100/x)*x=(73.16/33.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1760856632957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1760856632957) to get x
100/2.1760856632957=x
45.954073264079=x
x=45.954073264079

now we have:
33.62 is 45.954073264079% of 73.16
