32.48 is what percent of 146 - 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 146 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 146, so we can write it down as 100%=146.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=146
2) x%=32.48
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%=146/32.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.48 is what percent of 146

100%/x%=146/32.48
(100/x)*x=(146/32.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4950738916256*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4950738916256) to get x
100/4.4950738916256=x
22.246575342466=x
x=22.246575342466

now we have:
32.48 is 22.246575342466% of 146
