32.64 is what percent of 7.25 - 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 7.25 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 7.25, so we can write it down as 100%=7.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.25
2) x%=32.64
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%=7.25/32.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.64 is what percent of 7.25

100%/x%=7.25/32.64
(100/x)*x=(7.25/32.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.222120098039*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.222120098039) to get x
100/0.222120098039=x
450.206896552=x
x=450.206896552

now we have:
32.64 is 450.206896552% of 7.25
