27 is what percent of 32300 - 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 32300 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 100% equals 32300, so we can write it down as 100%=32300.
4. We know, that x% equals 27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32300
2) x%=27
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:
100%/x%=32300/27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27 is what percent of 32300

100%/x%=32300/27
(100/x)*x=(32300/27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1196.2962962963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1196.2962962963) to get x
100/1196.2962962963=x
0.08359133126935=x
x=0.08359133126935

now we have:
27 is 0.08359133126935% of 32300
