50 is what percent of 34.33 - 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 34.33 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 34.33, so we can write it down as 100%=34.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 50 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.33
2) x%=50
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%=34.33/50
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50 is what percent of 34.33

100%/x%=34.33/50
(100/x)*x=(34.33/50)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.6866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.6866) to get x
100/0.6866=x
145.64520827265=x
x=145.64520827265

now we have:
50 is 145.64520827265% of 34.33
