7999.56 is what percent of 33600 - 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 33600 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 33600, so we can write it down as 100%=33600.
4. We know, that x% equals 7999.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7999.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33600
2) x%=7999.56
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%=33600/7999.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7999.56 is what percent of 33600

100%/x%=33600/7999.56
(100/x)*x=(33600/7999.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2002310127057*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2002310127057) to get x
100/4.2002310127057=x
23.808214285714=x
x=23.808214285714

now we have:
7999.56 is 23.808214285714% of 33600
