What is 2.161 percent of 33 - 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 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 33 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.161% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.161%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33=100%
2) x=2.161%
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:
33/x=100%/2.161%
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 2.161% of 33

33/x=100/2.161
(33/x)*x=(100/2.161)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33=46.2748727441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.2748727441) to get x
33/46.2748727441=x
0.71313=x
x=0.71313

now we have:
2.161% of 33=0.71313
