What is 72.6 percent of 33 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33=100%.
4. We know, that x is 72.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=72.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33=100%
2) x=72.6%
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/x=100%/72.6%
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 72.6% of 33

33/x=100/72.6
(33/x)*x=(100/72.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33=1.3774104683196*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3774104683196) to get x
33/1.3774104683196=x
23.958=x
x=23.958

now we have:
72.6% of 33=23.958
