What is 33.33 percent of 172.005 - 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 172.005 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 172.005 is 100%, so we can write it down as 172.005=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 172.005=100%
2) x=33.33%
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:
172.005/x=100%/33.33%
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 33.33% of 172.005

172.005/x=100/33.33
(172.005/x)*x=(100/33.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
172.005=3.000300030003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.000300030003) to get x
172.005/3.000300030003=x
57.3292665=x
x=57.3292665

now we have:
33.33% of 172.005=57.3292665
