32 is what percent of 7764 - 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 7764 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 7764, so we can write it down as 100%=7764.
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%=7764
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%=7764/32
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 7764

100%/x%=7764/32
(100/x)*x=(7764/32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=242.625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (242.625) to get x
100/242.625=x
0.41215868109222=x
x=0.41215868109222

now we have:
32 is 0.41215868109222% of 7764
