What is 38.051 percent of 32.5 - 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 32.5 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 32.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.051% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.051%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32.5=100%
2) x=38.051%
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:
32.5/x=100%/38.051%
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 38.051% of 32.5

32.5/x=100/38.051
(32.5/x)*x=(100/38.051)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32.5=2.628051825182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.628051825182) to get x
32.5/2.628051825182=x
12.366575=x
x=12.366575

now we have:
38.051% of 32.5=12.366575
