75.62 is what percent of 32 - 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 32 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 32, so we can write it down as 100%=32.
4. We know, that x% equals 75.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32
2) x%=75.62
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%=32/75.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75.62 is what percent of 32

100%/x%=32/75.62
(100/x)*x=(32/75.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.42316847394869*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.42316847394869) to get x
100/0.42316847394869=x
236.3125=x
x=236.3125

now we have:
75.62 is 236.3125% of 32
