36 is what percent of 32136 - 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 32136 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 32136, so we can write it down as 100%=32136.
4. We know, that x% equals 36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32136
2) x%=36
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%=32136/36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36 is what percent of 32136

100%/x%=32136/36
(100/x)*x=(32136/36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=892.66666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (892.66666666667) to get x
100/892.66666666667=x
0.11202389843167=x
x=0.11202389843167

now we have:
36 is 0.11202389843167% of 32136
