What is 33.33 percent of 16.67 - 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 16.67 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 16.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16.67=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16.67=100%
2) x=33.33%
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:
16.67/x=100%/33.33%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 33.33% of 16.67

16.67/x=100/33.33
(16.67/x)*x=(100/33.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16.67=3.000300030003*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.000300030003) to get x
16.67/3.000300030003=x
5.556111=x
x=5.556111

now we have:
33.33% of 16.67=5.556111
