0.48 is what percent of 32.11 - 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 32.11 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 32.11, so we can write it down as 100%=32.11.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.11
2) x%=0.48
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%=32.11/0.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.48 is what percent of 32.11

100%/x%=32.11/0.48
(100/x)*x=(32.11/0.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.895833333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.895833333333) to get x
100/66.895833333333=x
1.4948614138898=x
x=1.4948614138898

now we have:
0.48 is 1.4948614138898% of 32.11
