32 is what percent of 1568 - 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 1568 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 1568, so we can write it down as 100%=1568.
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%=1568
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%=1568/32
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 1568

100%/x%=1568/32
(100/x)*x=(1568/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49) to get x
100/49=x
2.0408163265306=x
x=2.0408163265306

now we have:
32 is 2.0408163265306% of 1568
