33.13 is what percent of 24 - 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 24 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 24, so we can write it down as 100%=24.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24
2) x%=33.13
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%=24/33.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.13 is what percent of 24

100%/x%=24/33.13
(100/x)*x=(24/33.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.72441895562934*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.72441895562934) to get x
100/0.72441895562934=x
138.04166666667=x
x=138.04166666667

now we have:
33.13 is 138.04166666667% of 24
