What is 33 percent of 293 - 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 293 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 293 is 100%, so we can write it down as 293=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) 293=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:
293/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 293

293/x=100/33
(293/x)*x=(100/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
293=3.030303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.030303030303) to get x
293/3.030303030303=x
96.69=x
x=96.69

now we have:
33% of 293=96.69
