47.21 is what percent of 3334 - 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 3334 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 3334, so we can write it down as 100%=3334.
4. We know, that x% equals 47.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3334
2) x%=47.21
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%=3334/47.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.21 is what percent of 3334

100%/x%=3334/47.21
(100/x)*x=(3334/47.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=70.620631222199*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.620631222199) to get x
100/70.620631222199=x
1.4160167966407=x
x=1.4160167966407

now we have:
47.21 is 1.4160167966407% of 3334
