1047.5 is what percent of 3224 - 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 3224 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 3224, so we can write it down as 100%=3224.
4. We know, that x% equals 1047.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1047.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3224
2) x%=1047.5
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%=3224/1047.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1047.5 is what percent of 3224

100%/x%=3224/1047.5
(100/x)*x=(3224/1047.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0778042959427*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0778042959427) to get x
100/3.0778042959427=x
32.490694789082=x
x=32.490694789082

now we have:
1047.5 is 32.490694789082% of 3224
