32 is what percent of 1065 - 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 1065 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 1065, so we can write it down as 100%=1065.
4. We know, that x% equals 32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1065
2) x%=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%=1065/32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32 is what percent of 1065

100%/x%=1065/32
(100/x)*x=(1065/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.28125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.28125) to get x
100/33.28125=x
3.0046948356808=x
x=3.0046948356808

now we have:
32 is 3.0046948356808% of 1065
