What is 5.53 percent of 33.53 - 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 33.53 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 33.53 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.53=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33.53=100%
2) x=5.53%
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:
33.53/x=100%/5.53%
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 5.53% of 33.53

33.53/x=100/5.53
(33.53/x)*x=(100/5.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33.53=18.083182640145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.083182640145) to get x
33.53/18.083182640145=x
1.854209=x
x=1.854209

now we have:
5.53% of 33.53=1.854209
