    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 ? :)

    33 is what percent of 48...

    33 = 48(x)

    33/48 = x

    0.6875 = x {found by long division}

    68.75% = x {convert decimal to percent}
