32 is what percent of 3390 - 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 3390 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 3390, so we can write it down as 100%=3390.
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%=3390
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%=3390/32
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 3390

100%/x%=3390/32
(100/x)*x=(3390/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=105.9375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (105.9375) to get x
100/105.9375=x
0.94395280235988=x
x=0.94395280235988

now we have:
32 is 0.94395280235988% of 3390
