You can set up the sentence like an equation:
66 = .38x
x=173.68
Or you can set it up as a proportion
66/x = 38/100
cross-multiply and divide to get 173.68

Let x be the number you're looking for.
You know that 66 = (38/100) * x
Multiply both sides by (100/38) to get:
66 * (100/38) = x
x = 6600/38
x = 3300/19
or in decimal form, x is approximately 173.68
Hope that helps!

Let number be A:-
(38 / 100) x A = 66
A = 100 x 66 / 38
A = 100 x 33 / 19
A = 3300 / 19
A = 173.7 (to 1 dec. place)
