32 is what percent of 3.37 - 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 3.37 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 3.37, so we can write it down as 100%=3.37.
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%=3.37
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%=3.37/32
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 3.37

100%/x%=3.37/32
(100/x)*x=(3.37/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.1053125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1053125) to get x
100/0.1053125=x
949.55489614243=x
x=949.55489614243

now we have:
32 is 949.55489614243% of 3.37
