43.33 is what percent of 232.47 - 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 232.47 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 232.47, so we can write it down as 100%=232.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=232.47
2) x%=43.33
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%=232.47/43.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.33 is what percent of 232.47

100%/x%=232.47/43.33
(100/x)*x=(232.47/43.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3651050080775*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3651050080775) to get x
100/5.3651050080775=x
18.638964167419=x
x=18.638964167419

now we have:
43.33 is 18.638964167419% of 232.47
