33 is what percent of 48?
divide 33 by 48 with long division
you will start getting 0 point something...
multiply by 100 to get the percent

like this
25 is what percent of 50?
25 / 50 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%

33/48 = x/100

x = 33*100/48 = 68.75

So 33 is 68.75% from 48

Let's have another example :
15 and 30
15/30 = x/100 => x = 15*100/30
x = 50 so 15 is 50% from 30

Easy. Right ? :)
