102.8 is what percent of 32.5 - 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 32.5 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 32.5, so we can write it down as 100%=32.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 102.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=102.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.5
2) x%=102.8
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%=32.5/102.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 102.8 is what percent of 32.5

100%/x%=32.5/102.8
(100/x)*x=(32.5/102.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.31614785992218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.31614785992218) to get x
100/0.31614785992218=x
316.30769230769=x
x=316.30769230769

now we have:
102.8 is 316.30769230769% of 32.5
