36.3 is what percent of 330 - 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 330 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 330, so we can write it down as 100%=330.
4. We know, that x% equals 36.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=330
2) x%=36.3
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%=330/36.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36.3 is what percent of 330

100%/x%=330/36.3
(100/x)*x=(330/36.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.0909090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.0909090909091) to get x
100/9.0909090909091=x
11=x
x=11

now we have:
36.3 is 11% of 330
