1.32 is what percent of 421.058 - 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 421.058 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 421.058, so we can write it down as 100%=421.058.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=421.058
2) x%=1.32
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%=421.058/1.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.32 is what percent of 421.058

100%/x%=421.058/1.32
(100/x)*x=(421.058/1.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=318.98333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (318.98333333333) to get x
100/318.98333333333=x
0.31349600292596=x
x=0.31349600292596

now we have:
1.32 is 0.31349600292596% of 421.058
