28.11 is what percent of 37.32 - 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 37.32 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 37.32, so we can write it down as 100%=37.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37.32
2) x%=28.11
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%=37.32/28.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.11 is what percent of 37.32

100%/x%=37.32/28.11
(100/x)*x=(37.32/28.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3276414087513*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3276414087513) to get x
100/1.3276414087513=x
75.32154340836=x
x=75.32154340836

now we have:
28.11 is 75.32154340836% of 37.32
