25168.5 is what percent of 32900 - 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 32900 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 32900, so we can write it down as 100%=32900.
4. We know, that x% equals 25168.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25168.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32900
2) x%=25168.5
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%=32900/25168.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25168.5 is what percent of 32900

100%/x%=32900/25168.5
(100/x)*x=(32900/25168.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3071895424837*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3071895424837) to get x
100/1.3071895424837=x
76.5=x
x=76.5

now we have:
