What is 26.24 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 32 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32=100%.
4. We know, that x is 26.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=26.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32=100%
2) x=26.24%
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:
32/x=100%/26.24%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 26.24% of 32

32/x=100/26.24
(32/x)*x=(100/26.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32=3.8109756097561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8109756097561) to get x
32/3.8109756097561=x
8.3968=x
x=8.3968

now we have:
26.24% of 32=8.3968
