10.75 is what percent of 32 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=32.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32
2) x%=10.75
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%=32/10.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.75 is what percent of 32

100%/x%=32/10.75
(100/x)*x=(32/10.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9767441860465*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9767441860465) to get x
100/2.9767441860465=x
33.59375=x
x=33.59375

now we have:
10.75 is 33.59375% of 32
