What is 31.24 percent of 132.54 - 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 132.54 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 132.54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 132.54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 132.54=100%
2) x=31.24%
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:
132.54/x=100%/31.24%
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 31.24% of 132.54

132.54/x=100/31.24
(132.54/x)*x=(100/31.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
132.54=3.2010243277849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2010243277849) to get x
132.54/3.2010243277849=x
41.405496=x
x=41.405496

now we have:
31.24% of 132.54=41.405496
