32.32 is what percent of 677 - 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 677 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 677, so we can write it down as 100%=677.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=677
2) x%=32.32
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%=677/32.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.32 is what percent of 677

100%/x%=677/32.32
(100/x)*x=(677/32.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.946782178218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.946782178218) to get x
100/20.946782178218=x
4.7740029542097=x
x=4.7740029542097

now we have:
32.32 is 4.7740029542097% of 677
