51 is what percent of 33525 - 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 33525 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 33525, so we can write it down as 100%=33525.
4. We know, that x% equals 51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33525
2) x%=51
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%=33525/51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 51 is what percent of 33525

100%/x%=33525/51
(100/x)*x=(33525/51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=657.35294117647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (657.35294117647) to get x
100/657.35294117647=x
0.15212527964206=x
x=0.15212527964206

now we have:
51 is 0.15212527964206% of 33525
