32.29 is what percent of 62.47 - 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 62.47 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 62.47, so we can write it down as 100%=62.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62.47
2) x%=32.29
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%=62.47/32.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.29 is what percent of 62.47

100%/x%=62.47/32.29
(100/x)*x=(62.47/32.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9346546918551*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9346546918551) to get x
100/1.9346546918551=x
51.688810629102=x
x=51.688810629102

now we have:
32.29 is 51.688810629102% of 62.47
