325.32 is what percent of 1711.5 - 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 1711.5 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 1711.5, so we can write it down as 100%=1711.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 325.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=325.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1711.5
2) x%=325.32
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%=1711.5/325.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 325.32 is what percent of 1711.5

100%/x%=1711.5/325.32
(100/x)*x=(1711.5/325.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2609738104021*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2609738104021) to get x
100/5.2609738104021=x
19.007887817704=x
x=19.007887817704

now we have:
325.32 is 19.007887817704% of 1711.5
