83 is what percent of 1133 - 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 1133 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 1133, so we can write it down as 100%=1133.
4. We know, that x% equals 83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1133
2) x%=83
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%=1133/83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 83 is what percent of 1133

100%/x%=1133/83
(100/x)*x=(1133/83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.650602409639*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.650602409639) to get x
100/13.650602409639=x
7.3256840247132=x
x=7.3256840247132

now we have:
83 is 7.3256840247132% of 1133
