32 is what percent of 751 - 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 751 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 751, so we can write it down as 100%=751.
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%=751
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%=751/32
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 751

100%/x%=751/32
(100/x)*x=(751/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.46875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.46875) to get x
100/23.46875=x
4.2609853528628=x
x=4.2609853528628

now we have:
32 is 4.2609853528628% of 751
