32.17 is what percent of 30.15 - 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 30.15 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 30.15, so we can write it down as 100%=30.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30.15
2) x%=32.17
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%=30.15/32.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.17 is what percent of 30.15

100%/x%=30.15/32.17
(100/x)*x=(30.15/32.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93720857942182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93720857942182) to get x
100/0.93720857942182=x
106.69983416252=x
x=106.69983416252

now we have:
32.17 is 106.69983416252% of 30.15
