33.49 is what percent of 4.75 - 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 4.75 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 4.75, so we can write it down as 100%=4.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.75
2) x%=33.49
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%=4.75/33.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.49 is what percent of 4.75

100%/x%=4.75/33.49
(100/x)*x=(4.75/33.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.14183338309943*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14183338309943) to get x
100/0.14183338309943=x
705.05263157895=x
x=705.05263157895

now we have:
33.49 is 705.05263157895% of 4.75
