4.32 is what percent of 28.75 - 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 28.75 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 28.75, so we can write it down as 100%=28.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.75
2) x%=4.32
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%=28.75/4.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.32 is what percent of 28.75

100%/x%=28.75/4.32
(100/x)*x=(28.75/4.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6550925925926*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6550925925926) to get x
100/6.6550925925926=x
15.026086956522=x
x=15.026086956522

now we have:
4.32 is 15.026086956522% of 28.75
