What is 28.71 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 28.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33=100%
2) x=28.71%
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%/28.71%
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 28.71% of 33

33/x=100/28.71
(33/x)*x=(100/28.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33=3.4831069313828*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4831069313828) to get x
33/3.4831069313828=x
9.4743=x
x=9.4743

now we have:
28.71% of 33=9.4743
