33.7 is what percent of 33.3 - 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 33.3 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 33.3, so we can write it down as 100%=33.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.3
2) x%=33.7
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%=33.3/33.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.7 is what percent of 33.3

100%/x%=33.3/33.7
(100/x)*x=(33.3/33.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98813056379822*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98813056379822) to get x
100/0.98813056379822=x
101.2012012012=x
x=101.2012012012

now we have:
33.7 is 101.2012012012% of 33.3
