33.67 is what percent of 57 - 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 57 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 57, so we can write it down as 100%=57.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=57
2) x%=33.67
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%=57/33.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.67 is what percent of 57

100%/x%=57/33.67
(100/x)*x=(57/33.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6929016929017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6929016929017) to get x
100/1.6929016929017=x
59.070175438596=x
x=59.070175438596

now we have:
33.67 is 59.070175438596% of 57
