What is 65 percent of 32.57 - 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 32.57 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 32.57 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32.57=100%.
4. We know, that x is 65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32.57=100%
2) x=65%
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:
32.57/x=100%/65%
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 65% of 32.57

32.57/x=100/65
(32.57/x)*x=(100/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32.57=1.5384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5384615384615) to get x
32.57/1.5384615384615=x
21.1705=x
x=21.1705

now we have:
65% of 32.57=21.1705
