32.02 is what percent of 150 - 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 150 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 150, so we can write it down as 100%=150.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150
2) x%=32.02
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%=150/32.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.02 is what percent of 150

100%/x%=150/32.02
(100/x)*x=(150/32.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.684572142411*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.684572142411) to get x
100/4.684572142411=x
21.346666666667=x
x=21.346666666667

now we have:
32.02 is 21.346666666667% of 150
