32.4 is what percent of 1.338 - 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 1.338 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 1.338, so we can write it down as 100%=1.338.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.338
2) x%=32.4
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%=1.338/32.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.4 is what percent of 1.338

100%/x%=1.338/32.4
(100/x)*x=(1.338/32.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.041296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.041296296296296) to get x
100/0.041296296296296=x
2421.5246636771=x
x=2421.5246636771

now we have:
32.4 is 2421.5246636771% of 1.338
