What is 33.3333 percent of 4.689 - 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 4.689 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 4.689 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.689=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.3333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.3333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.689=100%
2) x=33.3333%
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:
4.689/x=100%/33.3333%
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 33.3333% of 4.689

4.689/x=100/33.3333
(4.689/x)*x=(100/33.3333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.689=3.000003000003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.000003000003) to get x
4.689/3.000003000003=x
1.562998437=x
x=1.562998437

now we have:
33.3333% of 4.689=1.562998437
