33.92 is what percent of 166.5 - 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 166.5 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 166.5, so we can write it down as 100%=166.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=166.5
2) x%=33.92
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%=166.5/33.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.92 is what percent of 166.5

100%/x%=166.5/33.92
(100/x)*x=(166.5/33.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.908608490566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.908608490566) to get x
100/4.908608490566=x
20.372372372372=x
x=20.372372372372

now we have:
33.92 is 20.372372372372% of 166.5
