33.74 is what percent of 4034.16 - 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 4034.16 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 4034.16, so we can write it down as 100%=4034.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4034.16
2) x%=33.74
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%=4034.16/33.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.74 is what percent of 4034.16

100%/x%=4034.16/33.74
(100/x)*x=(4034.16/33.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=119.56609365738*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (119.56609365738) to get x
100/119.56609365738=x
0.83635750689115=x
x=0.83635750689115

now we have:
33.74 is 0.83635750689115% of 4034.16
