32.34 is what percent of 73 - 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 73 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 73, so we can write it down as 100%=73.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73
2) x%=32.34
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%=73/32.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.34 is what percent of 73

100%/x%=73/32.34
(100/x)*x=(73/32.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2572665429808*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2572665429808) to get x
100/2.2572665429808=x
44.301369863014=x
x=44.301369863014

now we have:
32.34 is 44.301369863014% of 73
