32.61 is what percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.
4. We know, that x% equals 32.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75
2) x%=32.61
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%=75/32.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32.61 is what percent of 75

100%/x%=75/32.61
(100/x)*x=(75/32.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2999080036799*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2999080036799) to get x
100/2.2999080036799=x
43.48=x
x=43.48

now we have:
32.61 is 43.48% of 75
