27.32 is what percent of 32.24 - 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 32.24 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 32.24, so we can write it down as 100%=32.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.24
2) x%=27.32
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%=32.24/27.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.32 is what percent of 32.24

100%/x%=32.24/27.32
(100/x)*x=(32.24/27.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1800878477306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1800878477306) to get x
100/1.1800878477306=x
84.739454094293=x
x=84.739454094293

now we have:
27.32 is 84.739454094293% of 32.24
