What is 4.76 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 4.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32=100%
2) x=4.76%
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%/4.76%
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 4.76% of 32

32/x=100/4.76
(32/x)*x=(100/4.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32=21.008403361345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.008403361345) to get x
32/21.008403361345=x
1.5232=x
x=1.5232

now we have:
4.76% of 32=1.5232
