3.32 is what percent of 229 - 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 229 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 229, so we can write it down as 100%=229.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=229
2) x%=3.32
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%=229/3.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.32 is what percent of 229

100%/x%=229/3.32
(100/x)*x=(229/3.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.975903614458*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.975903614458) to get x
100/68.975903614458=x
1.4497816593886=x
x=1.4497816593886

now we have:
3.32 is 1.4497816593886% of 229
