32 is what percent of 14125 - 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 14125 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 14125, so we can write it down as 100%=14125.
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%=14125
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%=14125/32
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 14125

100%/x%=14125/32
(100/x)*x=(14125/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=441.40625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (441.40625) to get x
100/441.40625=x
0.22654867256637=x
x=0.22654867256637

now we have:
32 is 0.22654867256637% of 14125
