32.7 is what percent of 69.6 - 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 69.6 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 69.6, so we can write it down as 100%=69.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69.6
2) x%=32.7
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%=69.6/32.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.7 is what percent of 69.6

100%/x%=69.6/32.7
(100/x)*x=(69.6/32.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1284403669725*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1284403669725) to get x
100/2.1284403669725=x
46.98275862069=x
x=46.98275862069

now we have:
32.7 is 46.98275862069% of 69.6
