What is 3.2 percent of 1054.35 - 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 1054.35 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 1054.35 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1054.35=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1054.35=100%
2) x=3.2%
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:
1054.35/x=100%/3.2%
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 3.2% of 1054.35

1054.35/x=100/3.2
(1054.35/x)*x=(100/3.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1054.35=31.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.25) to get x
1054.35/31.25=x
33.7392=x
x=33.7392

now we have:
3.2% of 1054.35=33.7392
