What is 60 percent of 33318.69 - 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 33318.69 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 33318.69 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33318.69=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33318.69=100%
2) x=60%
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:
33318.69/x=100%/60%
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 60% of 33318.69

33318.69/x=100/60
(33318.69/x)*x=(100/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33318.69=1.6666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6666666666667) to get x
33318.69/1.6666666666667=x
19991.214=x
x=19991.214

now we have:
60% of 33318.69=19991.214
