32.16 is what percent of 184.16 - 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 184.16 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 184.16, so we can write it down as 100%=184.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=184.16
2) x%=32.16
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%=184.16/32.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.16 is what percent of 184.16

100%/x%=184.16/32.16
(100/x)*x=(184.16/32.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.726368159204*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.726368159204) to get x
100/5.726368159204=x
17.463075586447=x
x=17.463075586447

now we have:
32.16 is 17.463075586447% of 184.16
