10.48 is what percent of 32.55 - 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 32.55 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 32.55, so we can write it down as 100%=32.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.55
2) x%=10.48
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%=32.55/10.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.48 is what percent of 32.55

100%/x%=32.55/10.48
(100/x)*x=(32.55/10.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1059160305344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1059160305344) to get x
100/3.1059160305344=x
32.196620583717=x
x=32.196620583717

now we have:
10.48 is 32.196620583717% of 32.55
