32.97 is what percent of 1432.27 - 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 1432.27 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 1432.27, so we can write it down as 100%=1432.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1432.27
2) x%=32.97
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%=1432.27/32.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.97 is what percent of 1432.27

100%/x%=1432.27/32.97
(100/x)*x=(1432.27/32.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.44161358811*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.44161358811) to get x
100/43.44161358811=x
2.3019402766238=x
x=2.3019402766238

now we have:
