32.49 is what percent of 69.99 - 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 69.99 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 69.99, so we can write it down as 100%=69.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69.99
2) x%=32.49
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%=69.99/32.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.49 is what percent of 69.99

100%/x%=69.99/32.49
(100/x)*x=(69.99/32.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1542012927054*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1542012927054) to get x
100/2.1542012927054=x
46.420917273896=x
x=46.420917273896

now we have:
32.49 is 46.420917273896% of 69.99
