What is 2.53 percent of 33.16 - 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 33.16 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 33.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33.16=100%
2) x=2.53%
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:
33.16/x=100%/2.53%
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 2.53% of 33.16

33.16/x=100/2.53
(33.16/x)*x=(100/2.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33.16=39.525691699605*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.525691699605) to get x
33.16/39.525691699605=x
0.838948=x
x=0.838948

now we have:
2.53% of 33.16=0.838948
