32.5 is what percent of 671.6 - 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 671.6 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 671.6, so we can write it down as 100%=671.6.
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%=671.6
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%=671.6/32.5
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 671.6

100%/x%=671.6/32.5
(100/x)*x=(671.6/32.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.664615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.664615384615) to get x
100/20.664615384615=x
4.8391899940441=x
x=4.8391899940441

now we have:
32.5 is 4.8391899940441% of 671.6
