32 is what percent of 441.75 - 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 441.75 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 441.75, so we can write it down as 100%=441.75.
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%=441.75
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%=441.75/32
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 441.75

100%/x%=441.75/32
(100/x)*x=(441.75/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.8046875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.8046875) to get x
100/13.8046875=x
7.2439162422184=x
x=7.2439162422184

now we have:
32 is 7.2439162422184% of 441.75
