333.58 is what percent of 5700 - 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 5700 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 5700, so we can write it down as 100%=5700.
4. We know, that x% equals 333.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=333.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5700
2) x%=333.58
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%=5700/333.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 333.58 is what percent of 5700

100%/x%=5700/333.58
(100/x)*x=(5700/333.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.087355357036*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.087355357036) to get x
100/17.087355357036=x
5.8522807017544=x
x=5.8522807017544

now we have:
333.58 is 5.8522807017544% of 5700
