32.12 is what percent of 2408.57 - 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 2408.57 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 2408.57, so we can write it down as 100%=2408.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2408.57
2) x%=32.12
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%=2408.57/32.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.12 is what percent of 2408.57

100%/x%=2408.57/32.12
(100/x)*x=(2408.57/32.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=74.986612702366*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (74.986612702366) to get x
100/74.986612702366=x
1.333571372225=x
x=1.333571372225

now we have:
