32.05 is what percent of 724.74 - 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 724.74 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 724.74, so we can write it down as 100%=724.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=724.74
2) x%=32.05
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%=724.74/32.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.05 is what percent of 724.74

100%/x%=724.74/32.05
(100/x)*x=(724.74/32.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.6127925117*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.6127925117) to get x
100/22.6127925117=x
4.4222755746889=x
x=4.4222755746889

now we have:
32.05 is 4.4222755746889% of 724.74
