What is 33.75 percent of 27 - 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 27 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 27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 27=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 27=100%
2) x=33.75%
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:
27/x=100%/33.75%
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 33.75% of 27

27/x=100/33.75
(27/x)*x=(100/33.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
27=2.96296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.96296296296) to get x
27/2.96296296296=x
9.1125=x
x=9.1125

now we have:
33.75% of 27=9.1125
