76 is what percent of 33000 - 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 33000 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 33000, so we can write it down as 100%=33000.
4. We know, that x% equals 76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33000
2) x%=76
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%=33000/76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76 is what percent of 33000

100%/x%=33000/76
(100/x)*x=(33000/76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=434.21052631579*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (434.21052631579) to get x
100/434.21052631579=x
0.23030303030303=x
x=0.23030303030303

now we have:
76 is 0.23030303030303% of 33000
