32 is what percent of 333 - 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 333 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 333, so we can write it down as 100%=333.
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%=333
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%=333/32
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 333

100%/x%=333/32
(100/x)*x=(333/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.40625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.40625) to get x
100/10.40625=x
9.6096096096096=x
x=9.6096096096096

now we have:
32 is 9.6096096096096% of 333
