32.39 is what percent of 129 - 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 129 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 129, so we can write it down as 100%=129.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=129
2) x%=32.39
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%=129/32.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.39 is what percent of 129

100%/x%=129/32.39
(100/x)*x=(129/32.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9827107131831*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9827107131831) to get x
100/3.9827107131831=x
25.108527131783=x
x=25.108527131783

now we have:
32.39 is 25.108527131783% of 129
