816.75 is what percent of 3300 - 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 3300 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 3300, so we can write it down as 100%=3300.
4. We know, that x% equals 816.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=816.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3300
2) x%=816.75
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%=3300/816.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 816.75 is what percent of 3300

100%/x%=3300/816.75
(100/x)*x=(3300/816.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.040404040404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.040404040404) to get x
100/4.040404040404=x
24.75=x
x=24.75

now we have:
816.75 is 24.75% of 3300
