49 is what percent of 3369 - 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 3369 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 3369, so we can write it down as 100%=3369.
4. We know, that x% equals 49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3369
2) x%=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%=3369/49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49 is what percent of 3369

100%/x%=3369/49
(100/x)*x=(3369/49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.755102040816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.755102040816) to get x
100/68.755102040816=x
1.4544375185515=x
x=1.4544375185515

now we have:
49 is 1.4544375185515% of 3369
