What is 3.899 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 3.899% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.899%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33=100%
2) x=3.899%
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%/3.899%
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 3.899% of 33

33/x=100/3.899
(33/x)*x=(100/3.899)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33=25.647601949218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.647601949218) to get x
33/25.647601949218=x
1.28667=x
x=1.28667

now we have:
3.899% of 33=1.28667
