89 is what percent of 333.5 - 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 333.5 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 333.5, so we can write it down as 100%=333.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=333.5
2) x%=89
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%=333.5/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 333.5

100%/x%=333.5/89
(100/x)*x=(333.5/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.747191011236*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.747191011236) to get x
100/3.747191011236=x
26.686656671664=x
x=26.686656671664

now we have:
89 is 26.686656671664% of 333.5
