57 is what percent of 3248 - 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 3248 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 3248, so we can write it down as 100%=3248.
4. We know, that x% equals 57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3248
2) x%=57
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%=3248/57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57 is what percent of 3248

100%/x%=3248/57
(100/x)*x=(3248/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.982456140351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.982456140351) to get x
100/56.982456140351=x
1.7549261083744=x
x=1.7549261083744

now we have:
57 is 1.7549261083744% of 3248
