34.5 is what percent of 32.14 - 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 32.14 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 32.14, so we can write it down as 100%=32.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.14
2) x%=34.5
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%=32.14/34.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.5 is what percent of 32.14

100%/x%=32.14/34.5
(100/x)*x=(32.14/34.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93159420289855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93159420289855) to get x
100/0.93159420289855=x
107.34287492222=x
x=107.34287492222

now we have:
34.5 is 107.34287492222% of 32.14
