- Solution for 33 is what percent of 132:

- Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 132 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with "x".

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=132

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=33

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=132(1)

x%=33(2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS (left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x% = 132/33

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x%/100%=33/132

x=25%

Therefore, 33 is 25% of 132
