33.97 is what percent of 2385.64 - 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 2385.64 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 2385.64, so we can write it down as 100%=2385.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2385.64
2) x%=33.97
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%=2385.64/33.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.97 is what percent of 2385.64

100%/x%=2385.64/33.97
(100/x)*x=(2385.64/33.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=70.227848101266*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.227848101266) to get x
100/70.227848101266=x
1.423936553713=x
x=1.423936553713

now we have:
