73.75 is what percent of 3232 - 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 3232 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 3232, so we can write it down as 100%=3232.
4. We know, that x% equals 73.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=73.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3232
2) x%=73.75
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%=3232/73.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 73.75 is what percent of 3232

100%/x%=3232/73.75
(100/x)*x=(3232/73.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.823728813559*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.823728813559) to get x
100/43.823728813559=x
2.2818688118812=x
x=2.2818688118812

now we have:
73.75 is 2.2818688118812% of 3232
