32.6 is what percent of 143.916 - 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 143.916 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 143.916, so we can write it down as 100%=143.916.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.916
2) x%=32.6
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%=143.916/32.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.6 is what percent of 143.916

100%/x%=143.916/32.6
(100/x)*x=(143.916/32.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4146012269939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4146012269939) to get x
100/4.4146012269939=x
22.652102615415=x
x=22.652102615415

now we have:
