32 is what percent of 4577 - 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 4577 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 4577, so we can write it down as 100%=4577.
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%=4577
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%=4577/32
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 4577

100%/x%=4577/32
(100/x)*x=(4577/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=143.03125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (143.03125) to get x
100/143.03125=x
0.69914791348045=x
x=0.69914791348045

now we have:
32 is 0.69914791348045% of 4577
