What is 133.333 percent of 21 - 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 21 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 21 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21=100%.
4. We know, that x is 133.333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=133.333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21=100%
2) x=133.333%
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:
21/x=100%/133.333%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 133.333% of 21

21/x=100/133.333
(21/x)*x=(100/133.333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21=0.75000187500469*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75000187500469) to get x
21/0.75000187500469=x
27.99993=x
x=27.99993

now we have:
133.333% of 21=27.99993
