9.95 is what percent of 33.99 - 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 33.99 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 33.99, so we can write it down as 100%=33.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33.99
2) x%=9.95
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%=33.99/9.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.95 is what percent of 33.99

100%/x%=33.99/9.95
(100/x)*x=(33.99/9.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4160804020101*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4160804020101) to get x
100/3.4160804020101=x
29.273315681083=x
x=29.273315681083

now we have:
9.95 is 29.273315681083% of 33.99
