0.27 is what percent of 32.73 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 32.73 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 32.73, so we can write it down as 100%=32.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.73
2) x%=0.27
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=32.73/0.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.27 is what percent of 32.73

100%/x%=32.73/0.27
(100/x)*x=(32.73/0.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=121.222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (121.222222222) to get x
100/121.222222222=x
0.824931255729=x
x=0.824931255729

now we have:
0.27 is 0.824931255729% of 32.73
