What is 32.18 percent of 55.01 - 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 55.01 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 55.01 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55.01=100%.
4. We know, that x is 32.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=32.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55.01=100%
2) x=32.18%
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:
55.01/x=100%/32.18%
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 32.18% of 55.01

55.01/x=100/32.18
(55.01/x)*x=(100/32.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55.01=3.1075201988813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1075201988813) to get x
55.01/3.1075201988813=x
17.702218=x
x=17.702218

now we have:
32.18% of 55.01=17.702218
