73 is what percent of 3033 - 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 3033 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 3033, so we can write it down as 100%=3033.
4. We know, that x% equals 73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3033
2) x%=73
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%=3033/73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 73 is what percent of 3033

100%/x%=3033/73
(100/x)*x=(3033/73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41.547945205479*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.547945205479) to get x
100/41.547945205479=x
2.4068578964721=x
x=2.4068578964721

now we have:
73 is 2.4068578964721% of 3033
