732.71 is what percent of 32500 - 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 32500 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 32500, so we can write it down as 100%=32500.
4. We know, that x% equals 732.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=732.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32500
2) x%=732.71
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%=32500/732.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 732.71 is what percent of 32500

100%/x%=32500/732.71
(100/x)*x=(32500/732.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.355884319854*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.355884319854) to get x
100/44.355884319854=x
2.2544923076923=x
x=2.2544923076923

now we have:
732.71 is 2.2544923076923% of 32500
