13.6 is what percent of 333 - 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 333 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 100% equals 333, so we can write it down as 100%=333.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=333
2) x%=13.6
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:
100%/x%=333/13.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.6 is what percent of 333

100%/x%=333/13.6
(100/x)*x=(333/13.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.485294117647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.485294117647) to get x
100/24.485294117647=x
4.0840840840841=x
x=4.0840840840841

now we have:
13.6 is 4.0840840840841% of 333
