Question

33.52 is what percent of 8

Answer 1

It is 419% of 8. 100%/x%=8/33.52
(100/x)*x=(8/33.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.238663484487*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.238663484487) to get x
100/0.238663484487=x 
419=x 
x=419

Answer 2

1. We assume, that the number 8 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 8, so we can write it down as 100%=8. 
4. We know, that x% equals 33.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.52. 
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8
2) x%=33.52
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%=8/33.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.52 is what percent of 8

100%/x%=8/33.52
(100/x)*x=(8/33.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.238663484487*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.238663484487) to get x
100/0.238663484487=x 
419=x 
x=419

now we have: 
33.52 is 419% of 8
