488.28 is what percent of 3333 - 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 3333 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 3333, so we can write it down as 100%=3333.
4. We know, that x% equals 488.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=488.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3333
2) x%=488.28
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%=3333/488.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 488.28 is what percent of 3333

100%/x%=3333/488.28
(100/x)*x=(3333/488.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.8260014745638*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.8260014745638) to get x
100/6.8260014745638=x
14.649864986499=x
x=14.649864986499

now we have:
488.28 is 14.649864986499% of 3333
