3.3 is what percent of 24200 - 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 24200 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 24200, so we can write it down as 100%=24200.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24200
2) x%=3.3
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%=24200/3.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.3 is what percent of 24200

100%/x%=24200/3.3
(100/x)*x=(24200/3.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7333.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7333.3333333333) to get x
100/7333.3333333333=x
0.013636363636364=x
x=0.013636363636364

now we have:
3.3 is 0.013636363636364% of 24200
