    Well, you divide 2/3 by 100:

    100 / (2/3) = 150

    Now multiply it by the result:

    150 * 33.3 = 4995

    ----

    Overall, you always divide the percentage given by 100 and then multiply that result with the answer given.

    33.3 ÷ (2/3)%

    = 33.3 ÷ (2/3)/100

    = 33.3 x 100/(2/3)

    = 3330/(2/3)

    = 3330(3/2)

    = 9990/2

    = 4995

    2/3 = 0.6666667

    2/3%= 0.006666667

    0.006666667x= 33.3

    x= 5000

    2/3% = 0.66%

    0.66/100 * x = 33.3

    x = 33.3/ (0.66/100)

    x = 5045.45

    x be the # u are looking for

    2/3% is also equal to 66.66% which is equal to .66

    .66(x)=33.33

    * divide both sides by .66 to get the value of x

    x=50.5

    2/3% of 50.5=33.33
