33.84 is what percent of 142.19 - 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 142.19 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 142.19, so we can write it down as 100%=142.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=142.19
2) x%=33.84
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%=142.19/33.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.84 is what percent of 142.19

100%/x%=142.19/33.84
(100/x)*x=(142.19/33.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2018321513002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2018321513002) to get x
100/4.2018321513002=x
23.799141993108=x
x=23.799141993108

now we have:
33.84 is 23.799141993108% of 142.19
