84.4 is what percent of 33.3 - 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 33.3 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 33.3, so we can write it down as 100%=33.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 84.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=84.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.3
2) x%=84.4
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%=33.3/84.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 84.4 is what percent of 33.3

100%/x%=33.3/84.4
(100/x)*x=(33.3/84.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.39454976303318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.39454976303318) to get x
100/0.39454976303318=x
253.45345345345=x
x=253.45345345345

now we have:
84.4 is 253.45345345345% of 33.3
