What is 20 percent of 33122 - 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 33122 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 33122 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33122=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33122=100%
2) x=20%
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:
33122/x=100%/20%
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 20% of 33122

33122/x=100/20
(33122/x)*x=(100/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33122=5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
33122/5=x
6624.4=x
x=6624.4

now we have:
20% of 33122=6624.4
