333.33 is what percent of 1237.6 - 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 1237.6 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 1237.6, so we can write it down as 100%=1237.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 333.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=333.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1237.6
2) x%=333.33
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%=1237.6/333.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 333.33 is what percent of 1237.6

100%/x%=1237.6/333.33
(100/x)*x=(1237.6/333.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7128371283713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7128371283713) to get x
100/3.7128371283713=x
26.933581124758=x
x=26.933581124758

now we have:
333.33 is 26.933581124758% of 1237.6
