64 is what percent of 328 - 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 328 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 328, so we can write it down as 100%=328.
4. We know, that x% equals 64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=328
2) x%=64
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%=328/64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64 is what percent of 328

100%/x%=328/64
(100/x)*x=(328/64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.125) to get x
100/5.125=x
19.512195121951=x
x=19.512195121951

now we have:
64 is 19.512195121951% of 328
