What is 33.2 percent of 13.6 - 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 13.6 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 13.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13.6=100%
2) x=33.2%
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:
13.6/x=100%/33.2%
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 33.2% of 13.6

13.6/x=100/33.2
(13.6/x)*x=(100/33.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13.6=3.0120481927711*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0120481927711) to get x
13.6/3.0120481927711=x
4.5152=x
x=4.5152

now we have:
33.2% of 13.6=4.5152
