What is 4.32 percent of 33.55 - 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 33.55 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 33.55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.55=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33.55=100%
2) x=4.32%
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:
33.55/x=100%/4.32%
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 4.32% of 33.55

33.55/x=100/4.32
(33.55/x)*x=(100/4.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33.55=23.148148148148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.148148148148) to get x
33.55/23.148148148148=x
1.44936=x
x=1.44936

now we have:
4.32% of 33.55=1.44936
