33.7 is what percent of 9.6 - 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 9.6 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 9.6, so we can write it down as 100%=9.6.
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%=9.6
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%=9.6/33.7
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 9.6

100%/x%=9.6/33.7
(100/x)*x=(9.6/33.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.28486646884273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28486646884273) to get x
100/0.28486646884273=x
351.04166666667=x
x=351.04166666667

now we have:
33.7 is 351.04166666667% of 9.6
