What is 33 percent of 13.867 - 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 13.867 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 13.867 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13.867=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13.867=100%
2) x=33%
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:
13.867/x=100%/33%
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 33% of 13.867

13.867/x=100/33
(13.867/x)*x=(100/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13.867=3.030303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.030303030303) to get x
13.867/3.030303030303=x
4.57611=x
x=4.57611

now we have:
33% of 13.867=4.57611
