What is 33.91 percent of 52 - 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 52 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 52 is 100%, so we can write it down as 52=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.91% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.91%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 52=100%
2) x=33.91%
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:
52/x=100%/33.91%
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 33.91% of 52

52/x=100/33.91
(52/x)*x=(100/33.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
52=2.9489826010027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9489826010027) to get x
52/2.9489826010027=x
17.6332=x
x=17.6332

now we have:
33.91% of 52=17.6332
