32.5 is what percent of 12300 - 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 12300 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 12300, so we can write it down as 100%=12300.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12300
2) x%=32.5
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%=12300/32.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.5 is what percent of 12300

100%/x%=12300/32.5
(100/x)*x=(12300/32.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=378.46153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (378.46153846154) to get x
100/378.46153846154=x
0.26422764227642=x
x=0.26422764227642

now we have:
32.5 is 0.26422764227642% of 12300
