25.95 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 25.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32
2) x%=25.95
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%=32/25.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25.95 is what percent of 32

100%/x%=32/25.95
(100/x)*x=(32/25.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.233140655106*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.233140655106) to get x
100/1.233140655106=x
81.09375=x
x=81.09375

now we have:
25.95 is 81.09375% of 32
